Impressionnistes et Symbolistes

1891-1897

 

Introduction:
From late 1891 till early 1898 there were 15 expositions held of ‘peintres Impressionnistes et Symbolistes’ (=EIS) in the Gallery of Le Barc de Boutteville. This gallery was run by Louis Léon Lebarc (1837-1897), who was married with Marie-Blanche de Boutteville. The gallery was located 47, rue Le Peletier in Paris. After his death October 1897, his successor Charles Dosbourg organised the last exposition which started 1897/12/01.

General info about the exhibitions and the partakers:
The information about which artists did partake in these expositions is incomplete and of 5 expositions even absent. I mention the highlights of what is known: Many  painters just joined one or two times. More frequent partakers were: Anquetin, Denis (1st-5th + introduction 9th), Dethomas (6th-11th), D’Espagnat (8th – 11th), Roy (4x + introduction 13th + 14th), Sérusier and Toulouse-Lautrec. Angrand joined two expositions, Bonnard three and Bernard only joined the first two expositions.
Of the partakers of the  ‘impressionist’ expositions, according to the information on Wikipedia (iR4) only Signac joined the first two expositions, Pissarro only the second and Gauguin only the sixth (iR4). But the Critical Catalogue of paintings doesn’t affirm that Pissarro exhibited in the Summer of 1892, but mentions that he joined the 4th exposition in 1893 and exhibited under no.98 ‘Retour des champs’, an unidentified work. (R116I,p363). Cachin adds that Signac also joined the 4th exposition (R106,p420) and Ferretti-Bocquillon that he exhibited in 1891+92+93 (R39,p304), but this leaves it unclear if Signac exhibited at the 3rd and 5th exhibition, following the information of Cachin I assume not. Huyghe adds that Gauguin exhibited at the 2nd exposition in 1893 (R49,p92), but the 2nd exposition wasn’t in 1893 and Crussard adds that he exhibited also at the 3rd exposition (R181,no306).
In 1892 Bernard organised an exhibition of 16 paintings by Vincent van Gogh in the Gallery of Le Barc de Boutteville (R88I,p49;R3,p647), I don’t know when exactly this was, neither if it coincided with an Exposition of Les peintres Impressionnistes et Symbolistes.
