Emilien Mulot-Durivage (1838-1920)

or: Emile Durivage

 

 

Mulot-Durivage only joined the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition:
At the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition Mulot-Durivage showed 2 works (catalogue numbers 113-114) (R2,p122). His work received little attention and remained unsold (aR1;R87;R90II).
Joconde states that Mulot-Durivage also joined the 7th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1882 (iR23;iR4). This is not confirmed by Moffett or other sources; anyway he was not in the catalogue (R2,394;iR1).

Mulot-Durivage at the Salon:
Mulot-Durivage was rejected at the Salon of 1875 and exhibited at the Salon des Refusés. He exhibited at the Salon (de la Société des Artistes Français) in 1882 / 87 / 90. In 1887 and 1890 it is noticed that he was a member or sociétaire de la Société des Artistes Français. (iR1)

 

Mulot-Durivage as an artist:
Mulot-Durivage is an impressionist landscape painter (iR4).
Walther calls Mulot-Durivage as a member of the ‘Société Anonyme des Artistes…’ (R3,p684). Moffett doesn’t confirm this (R2,p105). Mulot-Durivage had contacts with Cézanne, Degas, Monet and Renoir (iR4;aR1;aR2).
