Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer's style and technique

Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer finds his own style and learns from several artistic currents such as Academism and, more particularly, Symbolism, with its attraction to dreams, a certain mysticism and a form of melancholy, in reaction to naturalism. His style is also reminiscent of the Romanticism and Pre-Raphaelitism of the early 19th century, recalling the paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais. He paints women with a symbolic or even mythological character, in a vaporous style and being partisans of the " non finito ", the background against which the busty figures appear is relatively abstract or sketched.

The life of Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer

Born in Algiers in 1865, Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer began his artistic training in 1879 at the École communale supérieure de dessin et de sculpture in Paris. He quickly gained renown for his spectacular mastery of pastel and drawing, and worked at Clément Massier's Manufacture for 8 years. Some works are signed in collaboration by the two artists, and there is no vase attributed to Dhurmer alone.
