Henri Martin / Henri Jean Guillaume Martin (1860-1943).
Henri Martin (fr. Henri Jean Guillaume Martin) - French Neo-Impressionists, pointillist, symbolist.
Born in 1860 in Toulouse. His father was a carpenter. Mother was of Italian origin. Martin persuaded his father to allow him to become an artist. His studies he started in 1877 at the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse. In 1879, Martin moved to Paris, where, thanks to the previously obtained knowledge, was able to continue training in the workshop of Jean-Paul Laurens. Four years later, he earned his first medal at the Paris Salon, where three years later, in 1886, he held his first exhibition. A year after receiving his first medal Martin was awarded a scholarship to travel to Italy, where he studied the works of old masters such as Giotto and Masaccio.
Soon he left and became interested in academic neo-Impressionism, but also in a more relaxed manner than prescribed theory: wide and short strokes of his brush separate and parallel forms and lighting solutions are created in perfect chromatism and subordinated thought. His manner close to divisionism J. Sera.
In Italy, he developed his own style, calling it "divisionism" (separate brush strokes). The product in this style in 1889, which he submitted to the Paris Salon, earning him a gold medal, but critics have identified as the work of pointillism. In the same year he became a member of the Legion of Honor. He has written several unusually large for the neo-impressionism paintings and won a great vocation, when put them at a personal exhibition in the Gallery Mancini in 1895.
He was commissioned to execute several important paintings at the Paris City Hall in 1895, and a new grand building of the Capitol city of Toulouse (1903-1906). In 1900 at the World's Fair, he was awarded the Grand Prix for his work.

Since 1900 he lived in the Quercy, and later moved to Labastide du Vert. Luo region became the center of his inspiration. Henri Martin has created a series of paintings, the most comprehensive and complete, inspired by the landscapes of the south of France, and carried away by the search for new lighting solutions.
Although Martin works as a Neo-Impressionists are not considered fundamental, his works were a success and entered the world classics of painting as neo-impressionism and symbolism.
At the same time, moving away from the typical Symbolists, in his landscapes he retained poetics mysterious atmosphere and space. The artist used the spiritualization of forms (as traditional images and allegories).
In Labastide du Vert Martin lived most of his life and died in 1943
Much of his work is exhibited in a museum in Cahors (ex-bishops), which is named after him.
