Albert Marquet (1875-1947). Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, Texas.


This is a much later work than The Pont Neuf. The style is essentially the same, though. The drawing is a little more refined, and the handling of the atmospheric perpective a little surer, but overall the effect is much the same as in the earlier painting. If anything, the refinement, slight though it is, detracts from the painting. But who am I to argue with Marquet.
