Charles Angrand

Charles Angrand (1854 – 1926) was a French painter associated with the Pointillism technique, which used small dots of colour to create optical blends when viewed from a distance. Angrand’s work is closely linked to the Post-Impressionism movement, where he focused on rural landscapes and urban scenes, applying a scientific approach to colour and light. He primarily worked with oil paints, employing the pointillist method to capture the effects of sunlight and atmosphere in his carefully structured compositions. His work reflects the ideals of Post-Impressionism, combining a precise technique with an emotional response to nature.
