Archival Overview

Core French Impressionist painter who participated in six Impressionist exhibitions, celebrated for his intense, saturated color palettes of the Creuse valleys and Parisian quays.

Biographical Record

Armand Guillaumin (1841–1927 CE) worked as a night clerk on the Paris railway while painting alongside Cézanne and Pissarro at the Académie Suisse.

His intense, fiery purples, vermilions, and glowing oranges influenced Vincent van Gogh; winning the national lottery in 1891 allowed him to dedicate his remaining decades purely to landscape painting.
