막시밀리앵 루스(Maximilien Luce), 프랑스, 예술가, 1858-1941
프랑스의 가난한 집안에서 태어난 '막시밀리앵 루스'는, 목판화 가게에서 일을 하다가 목판기술을 먼저 익혔고 그 후 회화에 전념하게 되었습니다.
점묘화법을 접하고는 큰 감동을 받았으며, 신인상주의에 참여했죠. 파리의 번화가와 공장, 부둣가의 풍경 등 산업화되어 가는 도시와 그 시대의 풍경을 붓 끝에 담아냈습니다.
파리 거리의 많은 사람들 움직임은 동적이지 않고 정적으로 보이는데, 그 순간의 서정성을 포착해서 차분한 색감으로 그림에 담았기 때문입니다.
About Him
A painter, lithographer and draftsman, Maximilien Luce (French, 1858–1941) was born into a poor family in Paris on March 13, 1858. After initial training as a wood carver at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, he began to study engraving in 1872, and took evening courses to deepen his knowledge. In 1876, he entered the shop of the engraver Eugène Froment, with whom he traveled to London in 1877. After his return to Paris in 1879, Luce began a four-year military service. During his service, and later, through 1885, he studied at the Académie Suisse and in the studio of Carolus-Duran at the École des Beaux-Arts, with his paintings displaying impressionistic influences. In the 1880s, he met and established friendly contacts with many Parisian painters, including Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Luce, along with these well-known artists, became the founders of Neo-Impressionism (Pointillism).
Through Pissarro, Luce came under the influence of anarchist ideas, and formed friendships with the anarchist writers and journalists Jules Christophe, Jean Grave, Georges Darien, and Emile Pouget. In 1894, he became involved in the Trial of the Thirty, and served a short term of imprisonment.
Until 1904, Luce lived in Montmartre, the streets of which appeared in many of his works. Between 1904 and 1924, he lived in Auteuil, then moved back to Paris. Apart from street scenes, factories, and wharfs, he painted numerous landscapes on his travels through the Etampes, Normandy, and Brittany. During the First World War, he also painted war scenes, including portraits of wounded and homecoming soldiers. In 1934, Maximilien Luce was elected president of the Société des Artistes Indépendants after Signac’s retirement, but soon resigned in a protest against the society''''''''''''''''s policy to restrict the admission of Jewish artists.
