Catalogue Note
Fascinated by the myriad effects of light, Gustave Cariot was greatly influenced by the freedom and spontaneity of Monet’s haystack series from 1890-91, as well as his views of Rouen Cathedral. The majority of his subjects are rural but they also span the rooftops of Paris, formal gardens and the Seine in all seasons, including several significant depictions of the Pont-Neuf. This lush composition also alludes to Albert Marquet’s famous views of the Seine notably painted from the window of his studio located on Le Quai des Grands-Augustins. Cariot confidently captures the dynamic play of light on the water in his uninhibited interpretation of Pointillism.
