Albert Marquet was a French painter who showed a sensitive way of looking at the world in his paintings. He is known for his subtly colored depictions of landscapes from a window vantage point. Using abbreviated brushstrokes to convey forms, the artist evoked weather and light conditions while retaining a sense of volume and space. His ultimate goal was a tonal harmony that would lay bare the essentials as he sought to encapsulate his subjects with fidelity and balance and, as he put it, "to paint like a child without forgetting Poussin."During his life, he traveled extensively, focusing on waterfronts and vistas around France, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, and North Africa.Utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement, the present array of Albert Marquet's paintings vividly highlights his very particular optical domination of the world, at once modern and timeless.
