Hello, Readers,
I am back again, to show some more artworks.
Today instead of me showing my creations, I think we will go back again to discover another artist. I enjoy finding in particular woman artist that the majority of people may not know exist like myself.
Today tho we will look at an 1800's male artist Swiss-born who Migrated to Australia in 1865. His name Louis Buvelot Switzerland, second son of François Simeon Buvelot, postal official, and his wife Jeanne-Louise a school teacher.Buvelot was in business as a photographer in Bourke St Melbourne for a year.
In 1869 the trustees of the National Gallery of Victoria bought two of his pictures, and in 1870 paid £131 for the Waterpool at Coleraine.
In 1873, 1880 and 1884 he was awarded gold medals at exhibitions held in Melbourne, and he also received a silver medal at the Philadelphia exhibition of 1876.
In the earliest known published review of Buvelot's work (Rio, 1844) the critic commended the 'truthful' effects of light, the topographic and atmospheric realism, and the attractiveness of the pictures. These characteristics persist throughout Buvelot's art. His work is frequently likened to that of the French Barbizon school although no direct contact between Buvelot and these artists or their work is certain. Nevertheless, most of the landscape painters who worked at Neuchâtel in 1850-1900 had been in direct contact, in and around Paris, with the French painters of the passage in time and this resulted in a flourishing little school of 'open air realist' artists centered in Neuchâtel when Buvelot was working and exhibiting there. The landscapes by these artists depict small-scale pastoral scenes in the immediate locality and reveal an interest in tone and the blond light of forenoon and afternoon. Buvelot brought to Australia and developed this western Swiss variant of the art of Barbizon. In his work, he avoided literary or romantic subjects and, like his neuchâtelois contemporaries, found his artistic theme in 'light and tone' and the simple poetry of quiet corners. Max Meldrum considered that it was through Buvelot's unfailing assessment of 'tone' that the Swiss artist came closer than any other painter who had depicted the Australian scene to an 'objectively truthful' rendering of the appearance of his subject. Examples of Buvelot's paintings are in western Switzerland, Brazil, California, and throughout Australia in both public and private collections.
