  • Beginning with „La couleur“ mentioning especially Delacroix and Veronese, going on with „lumiere“ (light) and „spectre solaire“ (solar spectre) and mixed colors (les melanges), Effets d’optique, „complementaires“ (based on three complementary colors: red, yellow & blue), „les tons rompus“ (mixed colors), „les accords“ and „l’Harmonie“ and „les melanges optiques“. Lamontagne based his thoughts on the color theorist Charles Blanc (1813–1882) who was a professor and taught art history both at the École Spéciale d’Architecture and the College of France. In 1869, he had the honor of being admitted to the Academy of the Beaux Arts. Blanc’s books the Grammar of Painting and Engraving (Grammaire des Arts du Dessin) and the Grammar of Decorative Arts (Grammaire des Arts Décoratifs), where he laid out, amongst other things, his color theory, were studied by artists of that period including Van Gogh, Gaugin and Seurat. Blanc’s writings are stated as being “the most influential texts on color theory to come from the second half of the 19th century”. He and his theories had significant influence on the artists of that time, especially those that became part of the Chromoluminarism movement. Blanc and Eugène Delacroix, along with Chevreul and Ogden Rood, were very important in their influence of the Chromoluminarism and Neo-Impressionism movements. Blanc’s work introduced Seurat, who was the leader of Chromoluminarism, to theories about light and color that became some of the key elements of this movement. Lamontagne also was influenced by Blanc’s ideas. About Lamontagne’s biography we have not much information. On additional sheets: notes on similar themes like: Les principes de la composition decorative, L’interpretation, les exigences techniques, Le Lierre. - Beschrijving verkoper.
