Emile Bernard (1868-1941)

Émile Bernard is a French painter and writer. In search of an art "that would be of extreme simplicity and accessible to all", Bernard tries his hand at different styles, from the pointillism of the beginnings, to the cloisonnism he invented, then post-impressionism and synthetism with his friend Gauguin and the Pont-Avant school until his orientalist period during his residence in Egypt.
