Armand Seguin

Original Prints: Etchings, Lithographs

Joining Paul Gauguin at Pont Aven in the early 1890s, Armand Seguin (1869 - 1903) spent most of his later life in Brittany and became a major figure of the Synthetist movement that took root there.

The École de Pont Aven vigorously explored the graphic arts and Seguin early developed his skills in various techniques, often in partnership with Roderic O'Conor.

Although the artist died quite young from tuberculosis in Paul Sérusier's atelier, he produced almost 100 prints in the different media.

Les Pêcheurs de Goémons The Seaweed Gatherers Field, Strauss, and Wagstaff 85 zincograph, circa 1895, the only known state, though the plate may have been reworkd, a very fine impression, on medium-fine tan wove paper, with small margins Seguin here depicts a lively port scene in Brittany, with the fleet of small boats that sailed to harvest wrack seaweed.          next artist  >
