Overview

Excerpt from The Salons of 1902 Auguin sends two views in Saintonge, sandhills by the sea and parched meadows, delicately observed and chequered with flashing lights. He renders well the melancholy charm which Fromentin found so exquisite in Dominica. Gabie, who treads in the steps of his master Harpignies, gives us hue and sound presentments of the decorative aspects of nature; the wind sweeps across, threat ening a storm. Jan Monchablon is conscientious, but hard in his distances, and he is by no means afraid of strong sunlight. Morlot, faithful to Corot's Elysian dream, takes great and evident delight in listening for the murmured secrets of nature. As instances of this characteristic feature of his talent, we may mention two pictures sent by him, one is called Elfenz'ng, and the other, a soft and warm study, the Bathing hour. And Poreau, too, delights in the shrouded efifects that lie close to dreams, in the light grey mists of Eyenz'hg on the Adour.
