Léon-Augustin
L'hermitte Also known as: Léon Augustin Lhermitte,
Leon Augustine L'Hermitte. |
||||||
|
The only son of a village
schoolmaster, his precocious drawing skill
won him an annual grant from the state. In
1863 Léon Augustin L'hermitte went to Paris and became a student
at the Petite Ecole. Jean-Charles Cazin, a
fellow pupil, became a lifelong friend and
Léon Augustin Lhermitte later got to know Alphonse Legros,
Henri Fantin-Latour, Jules Dalou and Rodin,
who had all studied at the school. In 1864
his charcoal drawing the Banks of the Marne
near Alfort was exhibited at the Salon. Léon
Augustin L'hermitte continued to exhibit his drawings at the
Salon until 1889. During this early period in his career he executed compositions replete with the most minute details, depicting each diverse activity before the advent of industrialization overtook the village life of France. In 1880 Léon Augustin Lhermitte earned another medal, this time a second class medal, for La Vieille Demeure (The Old Women Remains) and Inauguration de l’Hotel-Dieu de Chateau-Thierry (Inauguration of the Hotel-Dieu of Chateau-Thierry). These charcoal drawings, or “fusains” as they were in French, were “…fully developed compositions…These works, in the subtlety of their handling of light, their preciseness of detail, and their emphasis on observation are among the earliest major ‘black and white’ drawings establishing the medium as suitable for exhibitable work not just for preparatory studies.” (Gabriel P. Weisberg, The Realist Tradition: French Painting and Drawing, 1830-1900, Cleveland: The Cleveland Museum of Art, 1980, pg. 301) |

| As a regular exhibitor at the Salon, Lhermitte’s graphic work had become increasingly sought after, though Léon Augustin L'hermitte had not yet attained the level of success that he desired. He wanted to complete a work that would solidify his success – this would be his 1882 Salon entry entitled La Paye des Moissonneurs (Paying of the Harvesters), an oil painting whose positive reception allowed Léon Augustin Lhermitte to gain many lucrative commissions. The work was eventually purchased by the state and hung in the Luxembourg museum before being transferred to the Hotel de Ville at Chateau-Thierry. It is also the work that established Léon Augustin Lhermitte as a member of the Naturalist tradition, because of the rugged accuracy of the presentation and the uncompromising view of rural life. |

After this point Lhermitte committed himself
more fully to depictions of rustic life, a
theme that had been a favorite of the
previous generation of artists from both the
Barbizon group to the early Realist artists.
Gabriel Weisberg in his work entitled “Léon
Lhermitte: Creativity in Context” from the
exhibition catalog Léon Lhermitte 1844-1925
explains that: …to Lhermitte, rustic activity embodied dignity, for Léon Augustin L'hermitte believed workers in the fields seldom complained…Bolstering these ways of representing workers were the locales in which Léon Augustin Lhermitte places his figures. The countryside was seldom dour or depressing, the atmosphere often appeared light and airy…and the environment seemed spacious. In his image of rustic life, Lhermitte focused not only on peasant life in the fields, for which Léon Augustin L'hermitte earned the title, “the singer of wheat,” but also on interior scenes of peasant life at home, infused with the interior detailing and emphasis on light effects in his scenes. Léon Augustin Lhermitte also became a devoted depicter of mother and child, an emotional theme that showed Lhermitte’s sensitivity to the issues of family and relationships. His interest in femininity also extended to peasant women washing their clothes along the river basin, especially along the Marne. In these cases, Lhermitte combined each of his interests to create his compositions. - Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting artist paintings - Bio Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting French - old oil painting artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte and artist oil paintings old by French old artists oil paintings L hermitte. He continued to exhibit these types of images at the annual Parisian salon held by the Société des Artistes Français but soon, around 1890, changed directions and began showing instead at the Salon for the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, to which Léon Augustin Lhermitte was named a “Sociétaire.” The Société Nationale was comprised of a group of artists who sought to provide other artists a less prohibitive exhibition embracing all the arts and more avant-garde themes and styles. Léon Augustin Lhermitte, while treating subjects that found a sympathetic audience, quickly fell under the influence of the Impressionist group and began using a light palette and treating atmospheric effects which linked him to this progressive movement and thus more progressive exhibitions such as these.& nbsp; At the same time, his work was already more readily accepted by the Salon jury and audiences than these other Impressionists since his work did not challenge their preconceived notions of art. Léon Augustin Lhermitte used progressive stylistic treatments, but relied on imagery in the vein of previous Realists to establish himself as an artist of dual nature, in this ever-changing period of French art.- Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting artist paintings - Bio Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting French - old oil painting artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte and artist oil paintings old by French old artists oil paintings L hermitte. Even though his public success was secured by exhibiting and oil painting, Lhermitte was clearly and most importantly an accomplished draughtsman who excelled at the use of charcoal and pastel, among other media. His pastels are part of the growing use of pastels in France in the latter half of the nineteenth century, used especially well by the Impressionist group. Lhermitte was said to have begun experimenting in pastels in 1885, just one year before he exhibited for the first time at the Société des Pastellistes Français held at the Georges Petit gallery in Paris. Here Léon Augustin L'hermitte submitted a dozen pastels which depicted daily life in the areas of Mont-Saint-Père and also his travel to Vittel, Berneval, Laren, and Wissant. Lhermitte was one of the most important proponents for acceptance of the pastel. Léon Augustin L'hermitte continually exhibited his work at these exhibitions and helped forge a new group, that of the pastellistes, where he became a mentor for younger artists. His pastels were so successful that Léon Augustin Lhermitte almost abandoned charcoal drawing. His earliest strictly commercial associations were products of his success with his grasp of such diverse media. Léon Augustin L'hermitte established a strong presence in England after traveling there for the first time in 1869 and then again after the Commune of 1871. The art dealer Durand-Ruel, who supported some of the most progressive artists of the period, purchased several of his charcoal drawings and invited him to participate in his upcoming “Black and White” exhibition. Léon Augustin Lhermitte consented and found great success and also a large British clientele eager to acquire his works. His associations with dealers and his increasing reliance on charcoal and pastel drawings put him in contact with another international dealer, Wallis, who had galleries in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States, thus disseminating Lhermitte’s vision of rustic life throughout the Western world. Monique Le Pelley Fontenay explains the public’s intrigue in his works (“Léon Augustin Lhermitte”, Léon Lhermitte 1844-1925): During his lifetime Lhermitte was very highly regarded in Anglo-Saxon countries where the picturesque and the healthy values celebrated in his painting and pastels were particularly appreciated. Values of work and family appear frequently in his work. Like Jules Breton and Rosa Bonheur, Léon Augustin Lhermitte was appreciated because he represented the “good old days.” …Throughout his life Lhermitte pointedly ignored the Industrial Revolution, fixing instead on the image of society before its disappearance, the vision of a paradise lost for the citizens of big cities, of a time frozen outside the march of history.- Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting artist paintings - Bio Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting French - old oil painting artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte and artist oil paintings old by French old artists oil paintings L hermitte. In 1900, he took part in both the Exposition Universals, to which he was a member of the jury, and the Exposition des Pastellistes. During the latter part of his career, mainly after 1900, Léon Augustin L'hermitte showed his dependence on the precepts of Impressionism and began devote more of his compositional space to the landscape and effects of the atmosphere. Whereas earlier in his career, figures would occupy the majority of the composition, thus focusing attention on them and their activity, later in his career Léon Augustin L'hermitte devoted less space to these figures. Equally important is that these figures began to lose their individual identity. Instead of depicting them with unique features, they instead became subsidiary elements to the overall impression of the landscape. At the same time, however, Léon Augustin Lhermitte did began more works on the theme of maternity which concentrated attention on the figures and the family values associated with them. (Léon Lhermitte 1844-1925) As Léon Augustin L'hermitte grew older, Lhermitte stayed closer to his home and executed several landscape pastels based on the banks of the Marne, which was near his studio, and other landscapes near his home. Léon Augustin L'hermitte was decorated with several honors from across Europe, such as the Chevalier of the Order of St. Michael in Germany, and his works were regularly acquired by the state after their showing. His life and career ended on July 28, 1925 in Paris, after which point his career and work fell into the oblivion until the 1990s when it was reappraised by an exposition at the Musée d’Orsay. Léon-Augustin Lhermitte balanced his progressive style with an imagery steeped in prior traditions of rural life and landscape painting, themes which Léon Augustin L'hermitte carried through into the twentieth century. To fully gauge his importance for nineteenth century art it is necessary to look to not just his oil paintings, but more so to his work of other media, especially charcoal and pastel drawings in which his abilities were put to fullest use. Leon Augustin Lhermitte: A great French painter and etcher of the late nineteenth century, he was a student of Lecocq de Boisbourdran. He first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1864 and was quickly acclaimed. Many awards and titles were bestowed upon Lhermitte during his career, such as the French Legion of Honour (1884) and the Grand Prize at the Exposition Universelle in 1889. Lhermitte's fine etchings have drawn comparison to the art of such diverse masters as Pissarro, Legros, Lalanne and Bastien Lepage. Léon Augustin Lhermitte, however, claimed that his strongest inspiration in the art came from the work of Millet. Like Millet, Lhermitte was drawn to the life and nobility of the poor, whether in the streets of Paris or in the countryside. |

La Boucherie, for example, depicts an interior scene within a modest butcher's shop and clearly shows the power of Lhermitte's etched art. His gift to portray the people and their environment with both sensitivity and dignity made Léon Augustin Lhermitte perhaps the greatest French realist artist since Courbet.Today, his etchings and paintings are housed in major public collections around the world, including museums in Boston, Washington, Chicago, Montreal, Brussels, Rheims, Paris, Moscow and Florence.- Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting artist paintings - Bio Léon Augustin Lhermitte old oil painting French - old oil painting artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte and artist oil paintings old by French old artists oil paintings L hermitte.
