Description of  Charles Angrand's Style

  Charles Angrand's subdued palette tended to more far more somber than his fellow painters. He subject matter focused on quaint Parisian neighborhoods, the French countryside and serious interior scenes.  In the beginning of his career he fell under the spell of Georges Seurat, and took up his pointillism style.

 Angrand juxtaposed small dots of pure color together to maximize luminosity. The dots appeared to intermingle and blend in the observer's eye. He rejected the haphazard spontaneity of Impressionism in support of this radical innovative painting technique.

 He loved to work outside, en plein air, preferring to paint directly from life.
