| Literature | This work dates to between 1906 and 1907 in the very short two year window where Lacombe experimented with Neo-Impressionism. The painting was executed in the forest of Ecouves at Alençon where the artist bought his home "L'Ermitage" in 1897. It was here that he met Theo Van Rysselberghe who introduced him to Neo-Impressionism. Lacombe adopted this technique through 1906 and 1907 painting views of his beloved forest around his house. “A divisionist and colorist, he treated the Ecouves forest with a freedom that brought him close to Fauvism. Then, abandoning arbitrary colors and pointillism, he adopted a very flexible style, always remaining faithful to the landscapes of Alençon, which he accurately rendered” writes Aude Pessey-Lux - an expert on the painter and head of the Musee de Alencon which ran a major retrospective of the work of Lacombe in 1992. |
