Henri-Edmond Cross

(French, 1856–1910)

Henri-Edmond Cross was a French Neo-Impressionist painter known for his atmospheric landscapes. Together with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, Cross became a proponent of Pointillism’s use of contrasting hues to produce a sense of light. “These landscapes are not merely pages of sheer beauty, but motifs embodying a lyrical sense of emotion,” the poet Emile Verhaeren once wrote of his work. Born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix on May 20, 1856 in Douai, France, he went on to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. Settling in Paris in 1881, the artist changed his last name from Delacroix to Cross in order to distinguish himself from the famed Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix. Three years later, he helped to found the Sociéte des Artistes Indépendants as a challenge to the official Salon. By 1891, the artist had begun to utilize divided brushstrokes of color while painting en plein air. That same year, he moved to the South of France to help with his arthritis. It was here in Saint-Tropez, that he and Signac befriended the young painters who went on to become the Fauves, Henri Matisse, André Derain, and Albert Marquet. Over the follow decades, Cross’s style loosened as a he incorporated watercolor painting into his practice and a less rigid approach to Pointillism. The artist died at the age of 53 on May 16, 1910 in Saint-Clair, France. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, among others.
