Henri Martin (fr. Henri Jean Guillaume Martin) - French Neo-Impressionists, pointillist, symbolist.


 Born in 1860 in Toulouse. His father was a carpenter. The mother was of Italian origin. Martin persuaded his father to allow him to become an artist. He began his training in 1877 at the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse. In 1879 Martin moved to Paris, where, thanks to the previously obtained knowledge, was able to continue training in the workshop of Jean-Paul Laurens. Four years later he received his first medal at the Paris Salon, where three years later, in 1886, he held his first exhibition. 
 A year later, after receiving his first medal Martin was awarded a scholarship to travel to Italy, where he studied the works of the old masters such as Giotto and Masaccio. Soon he left and became interested in academic neo-impressionism, but in a more relaxed manner than prescribed theory: wide and short strokes of his brush separate and parallel form and lighting solutions are created in perfect chromatism and subordinated thought. His style close to J. divisionism Sera. In Italy, he developed his own style, calling it "divisionism" (separate brush strokes). Presentation of works in this style in 1889 earned him a gold medal, but the criticism is defined as the working style of pointillism. In the same year he became a member of the Legion of Honor. 
 He has written several unusually large for the neo-impressionism paintings and won great calling, when they put on a solo exhibition at the Gallery Mancini in 1895. He was commissioned to execute several important paintings in the Paris City Hall in 1895 and the new grandiose building of the Capitol city of Toulouse (1903-1906). In 1900 at the World's Fair, he was awarded the Grand Prix for his work. From 1900, he lived in the Quercy, and later moved to Labastide du Vert. Region Luo became the center of his inspiration. Henri Martin created a series of paintings of the most complete and finished, inspired by the landscapes of the south of France, and carried away by the search for new lighting solutions. Although Martin works as the Neo-Impressionists are not considered fundamental, his works were a success and entered the world classics like impressionist paintings and symbolism. At the same time, moving away from the characteristic of the Symbolists, in his landscapes he retained the poetic and mysterious atmosphere of the space. The artist used the spiritualization of forms (both traditional images and allegories) .In Labastide du Vert Martin lived most of his life and died in 1943
