Louis Anquetin, a master of Cloisonmism, was born in Etrepagne, France. His critical eye to view basic living subjects and his mastery in pictorial illustrations rose him to fame. His passion for art and his dedication in developing his own style of painting made him the one-of-a-kind artist, who is worthy for the fame and respect.
Unlike Van Gogh, who never took proper training for painting, Louis's path to stardom was not without hurdles. To be adept in the art of painting, he shifted to Paris and studied at Leon Bonnat's studio. It was here where he met Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Accompanied by Henry he moved to Fernand Cormon's studio where he met Emile Bernerd and Vincent Van Gogh. In fact, his painting 'Avenue de Clichy: Five O’Clock in the Evening' had actually influenced Van Gogh to paint the famous 'Cafe Terrace at Night'.
Louise had a typical unorthodox style of painting that dealt with flat regions of colors and thick black contours. While he is considered a legend by many for his rare style, which was named as 'Cloisonmism' by art critic Edouard Corman, Louis's artistic style had major influences of stained glass and Japanese ukiyo-e He showed keen interest to study the methods of Old Masters and made paintings that were Rubensian and allegorical in nature.
As an artist, the contributions of Louis Anquetic are indeed exemplary and are worthy for admiration.
