Description:
|
Luce painted as a Neo-Impressionist, attempting to apply separate strokes of pure color in accordance with the divisionist technique developed by Seurat. Unlike most of the Neo-Impressionists, Luce continued to favor urban subjects throughout his career. However, this is a product of a trip to Camaret in Brittany in 1893. Part of the Isabelle and Scott Black Collection and is currently on long-term loan to the Portland Museum of Art. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
