BERNARD, Emile

Émile Bernard (1868-1941) was a French painter, engraver and writer. A post-impressionist artist, he is associated with the Pont-Aven school.

Bernard began his artistic training at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris and later at the College of Sainte-Barbe in Fontenay-aux-Roses. His talent earned him a recommendation from Michael de Wylie to enter Fernand Cormon's painting studio where he met Anquetin and Toulouse-Lautrec. After leaving the studio at the age of 18, he met van Gogh in Paris and the interaction with his style led to the exploration of pointillism. 

Bernard's travels were always influential in the development of his style. During the spring of 1887 in Normandy and Brittany he abandoned pointillism to explore the more sober contours of cloisonnism. His search for simplification of form led him to synthetism, then to symbolism. In 1893 his trip to Egypt made him explore an orientalist style. His exploration made him evolve in a progressive way towards a return of classicism. On his return to Paris, the search for a return to traditional art made him seek inspiration from the old masters.

His literary work is less known, he wrote poetry under the pseudonym of Jean Dorsal, and also art criticism.

He died in Paris in his studio in April 1941.
