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).
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).
See link for his -/-art-works. See link for an -/-account.

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 in 1882 / 87 / 90.

Mulot-Durivage as an artist:

Mulot-Durivage is an impressionist landscape painter (iR4).
