Émile Bernard
French, 1868–1941
Émile Bernard was a French Realism painter. 45 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Émile Bernard was born in Lille.
Émile Henri Bernard (French pronunciation:; 28 April 1868 – 16 April 1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and writer, who had artistic friendships with Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Eugène Boch, and at a later time, Paul Cézanne. Most of his notable work was accomplished at a young age, in the years 1886 through 1897. He is also associated with Cloisonnism and Synthetism, two late 19th-century art movements.
Less known is Bernard's literary work, comprising plays, poetry, and art criticism as well as art historical statements that contain first-hand information on the crucial period of modern art to which Bernard had contributed.
