Style and technique of the artist Adolphe Marie Beaufrère     

Adolphe Marie Beaufrère was influenced by the Nabis, a group of post-impressionist painters from the very late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a precursor group in which attributes of Fauvism can be discerned. It also produced Orientalist works and many landscape scenes.

The career of Adolphe Marie Beaufrère

Adolphe Marie Beaufrère (1876-1960) was a 20th-century French painter renowned for his postimpressionist and orientalist works.

Born in Finistère, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1897, where he studied under Gustave Moreau and Fernand Cormon. The following year, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français.

Initially inspired by his native Brittany, he produced many landscape paintings inspired by this region early in his career.

In 1911, his production took an Orientalist turn, as he received a grant to travel to Algeria. He also traveled to Italy and Spain. The First World War slowed his production, as he was drafted into the infantry, but had an influence on his work, as Beaufrère illustrated Fôret Voisine by Maurice Genevoix, a writer who had transcribed some of the key moments of the Great War.

Illustration would play an important role at the end of his career.

He died in Brittany in 1960, aged 83.

Adolphe Marie Beaufrère's imprint on his period

The artist is not very well known to the general public today, as other artists such as Fernand Cormon have stood out from the crowd. 

He remains a highly sought-after artist among connoisseurs and collectors of Nabis and Orientalist works, which are increasingly in demand at auction. It is therefore highly likely that the artist's value will increase over the next few years. 

Recognizing the artist's signature
