Portrait of the Artist's Sister, Georges Lemmen
Portrait of the Artist's Sister, 1891

Georges Lemmen

1865–1916 · Post-Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism · 1 work

Lemmen brings the divided color of Neo-Impressionism to a portrait of his sister. Small marks describe a familiar person while also organizing the whole surface. Look closely at how neighboring colors build the figure and the space around her.
