Armand Guillaumin

Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) was a French Impressionist known for his depictions of Paris and the South of France. In one of his hallmark works, Sunset at Ivry (1873), the artist employed a range of oranges, yellows, and muted blues to depict a line of factories silhouetted in the fading day.

Born Jean-Baptiste Armand Guillaumin on February 16, 1841 in Moulins, France, he attended evening drawing classes while working in his uncle’s lingerie store as a youth. In 1861, the artist befriended Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro while studying at the Académie Suisse. He went on to exhibit his work at the first Impressionist exhibition in the 1874. Having spent much of his life impoverished, the artist won 100,000 francs in a city lottery in 1891, and was subsequently able to quit his day-job as a government railway worker and focus solely on painting. The artist died on June 26, 1927 in Orly in Val-de-Marne, France.

Today, his work can be found in in the collections of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Art Institute of Chicago.
