1891 -1910 · Saint-Clair, Golden Islands, bathers and boats
Cross transforms beaches and sea into a solar mosaic: yellow sand, purple water, blue boat and calm figures make up a Mediterranean that is both real and dreamed of.
The sea became Henri-Edmond Cross's great horizon when he settled in the Var in 1891. From Saint-Clair to the beaches of Cabasson and Vignasse, facing the Îles d'Or, he developed a neo-impressionism more and more luminous. Saint-Clair Beach organizes sand, water and sky into colored bands, with a high horizon reminiscent of Japanese prints. Sunset over the sea replaces the local description with an agreement of complements: orange and pink of the sky respond to the blues and purples of the water. Two women on the edge of the Mediterranean introduce modern pastoral care. The figures do not dominate nature; they share its rhythm and suggest a free life, in in accordance with the social ideals of the painter. Vignasse Beach, the Golden Islands open the coast towards the archipelago, while the boats give the expanse a human scale. Cross juxtaposes colors rather than mixing them on the palette, but its touch widens over time, going from a tight point to a more supple mosaic. This freedom influences young Fauves, notably Matisse. Cross's marines do not stare at spectacular storms or seaside anecdotes. They build through color a space of warmth, calm and movement. They build through color a space of warmth, calm and movement. The selection "Marines and beaches of Henri-Edmond Cross" notably compares La Plage de Saint-Clair - Henri and Coucher de soleil on the wed - Henri. His reading favors composition.
Cross Sea doesn't just reflect the sky: it responds with purples, blues and pinks that make the light almost tactile.
