Camille Bouvagne


Camille Bouvagne was a French painter from Lyon, France. A member of the Lyon School, Bouvagne exhibited regularly at the Le Salon in Lyon.

Œuvre

Bouvagne, a keen observer of nature, specialized in landscape and still life painting. His style remains split between classical Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; thin, relatively small, yet visible brush strokes, exhibiting an accurate depiction of light and colors that took precedence over lines and contours. Following the example of painters such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Bouvagne's palette is restrained, dominated by browns, blacks and silvery green, his brushstrokes carefully controlled.

Career

Camille Bouvagne studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon under Pierre Miciol, who was a former student of the French academic painter Jehan Georges Vibert and the first co-president of the Société Lyonnaise des Beaux Arts.
