49. Landscape of Giverny [1908]

After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (1900 - 1902), the artist Samuel Mützner went to Paris, where he enrolled at the Académie Julian in the class of Professor Jean Paul Laurens. In addition to his work at the academy, he will spend time in museums, making prints after the great masters Rembrandt and Frans Hals, and around Paris, exploring the landscape. He would stop for two years at Giverny par Vernon, the home of the Impressionist painter Claude Monet, who had been living here since 1883, where his belief in light and colour intensified. An innovation in his work during this period will also be his approach to a new technique - pointillism, persistently used in plein air painting. The chosen motifs will be taken from the surrounding natural scenery - the village captured at different times of the day, the church, the haystacks, the poplar trees - approaching in technique, in the limited range of colours, as well as in the solidity of forms and volumes the new trend of the time - neo-impressionism, still in its infancy. The works made in France will be the subject of his first personal exhibition in the country, held in 1909 at the Romanian Athenaeum, received with praise by art lovers and art chroniclers. The year 1909 will also be the year of his debut at the Official Salon, where he will be a constant presence from this year onwards. (G.M.)
