Albert Marquet's father worked on the railroads and his mother encouraged and supported his early artistic endeavors. He joined Gustave Moreau's studio like the other Fauves at the École des Beaux-Arts. He loved to paint French urban landscapes. One technique he employed is to use color to enhance the effects of sunlight in his work. In Quai du Louvre et Le Pont-Neuf á Paris, below - Le Pont-Neuf, he uses contrasting light and dark shapes to depict dappled sunlight. He loved to travel throughout Europe and Northern Africa. Marquet painted with Dufy along beaches in Normandy and Le Havre. In 1923 he married Marcelle Matinet. Afterward, Marquet tended to live a more secluded life with his wife.. |
