Lot Essay

In 1888 Georges Lemmen became a member of Le Cercle des XX in Brussels and first exhibited with them in 1889. At the same time he also began to exhibit in Paris at the Salon des Indépendants. The neo-impressionists idea of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac dominated both groups and Lemmen adopted a pointilliste technique from 1890 until the summer of 1894.

To be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné on the artist's work, currently being prepared by the Belgian Art Research Institute.
