Gustave Moreau: A collection of 182 paintings (HD)
Description: "An early exponent of Symbolism, and an influential figure in French painting of the 19th century, the artist Gustave Moreau was known for his visionary style of mythological painting and imaginative history painting. More than any other artist, he had a natural flair for introducing "magic" into painting, and for incorporating the incomprehensible and unconscious into his compositions. This made him one of the leading Symbolist artists, but it also makes him an important source for 20th century Surrealism. A natural embellisher, who thrived on textural effects, Moreau painted with thick impasto, creating a luxurious, encrusted finish. At first he was influenced by Romanticism, and by Romantic artists like Theodore Chasseriau (1819-56) and Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863); also by Italian paintings from Byzantine to Renaissance times, and by the great Dutch Realist Rembrandt (1606-69). His works are marked by mystical imagery - Salome and Orpheus were favourite themes. Highly prolific during his lifetime he created over 8,000 paintings, drawings and watercolours - the latter being mainly abstract studies, which may have influenced the Abstract Expressionism movement, as well as European painting movements like Art Informal and Tachisme. Towards the end of his life Moreau became a popular teacher at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts: his students included the Fauvist Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and the Expressionist Georges Rouault (1871-1958). One of Moreau's most famous paintings is his watercolour The Apparition (1876, Louvre)."

LearnFromMasters Is the above bio correct for this video? This is not the bio of Gustave Moreau, is it? Moreau 1826-1898. The images are of Moreau's paintings. The bio belongs to someone else, perhaps?
