![]() ![]() ![]() Overall I would say he (mostly) didn’t paint in an impressionist style and he is more a Realist than an Impressionist.įorain most of all is admired for his illustrations and his etchings, not for his paintings. And he never used juxtaposed brushstrokes. Forain (mostly in his early and later days) makes an affluant use of blacks, browns and greys. Forain sometimes pays clear attention to the effect of (interior) light, but more in a clair-obscure way. He did some en-plein-air paintings and sometimes uses more bright colours, which are impressionist characteristics. Though he seamed to be more a follower, than a leader.įorain rendered every day (Parisian) live, but mostly he showed the shadow side of life, which is more characteristic for Realism. This makes him (with some delay) clearly part of the impressionist art-movement. He also had several contacts within the ‘impressionist’ circles, notably with Degas, Cezanne, Pissarro and De Nittis and in his later years with Renoir. ![]() He did not take part in the early years of the ‘impressionist’ expositions.
