This post is also available in:

Discover Henri Rivière: Between Impressionism and Japonism, the official catalog of the exhibition organized by the National Library of France (BnF) at the Richelieu site in spring 2009. This exceptional book explores the work of Henri Rivière (1864–1951), a major artist who combined French Impressionism and Japonism, through his color woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, and watercolors.

Edited by Valérie Sueur-Hermel, curator in the Department of Prints and Photography at the BnF, this beautiful 223-page book features more than 200 color illustrations. It highlights the artist’s iconic series, such as *The Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower* and his *Breton Landscapes*, while presenting his preparatory works alongside Japanese prints from his personal collection (Hokusai, Hiroshige, and others).

Créateur du célèbre Théâtre d’ombres du Chat Noir, Henri Rivière y révèle sa maîtrise du cadrage asymétrique, de la lumière, des heures et des saisons héritée de l’impressionnisme, enrichie par les techniques de l’estampe japonaise.
