The artist's works and style

An artist who was active in Paris during the 20th century, Henri Hélis is a French Impressionist painter. His paintings are predominantly landscape scenes, representing reality fairly faithfully, but using broad flat tints of paint and pastel shades.

Henri Hélis or the impressionist work of light

Henri Hélis (1872-1945) was a French Impressionist painter born in Romorantin.

He learned painting techniques from Ovide Scribe in Romorantin, and took part in the 1890 International Black and White Exhibition. The following year, Hélis was appointed secretary of the Société des artistes indépendants. He settled permanently in Paris and continued his training at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, where he learned charcoal technique from Auguste Allongé.

He then joined the Society of Independent Artists as a member. Here, he was able to exhibit his work, which included a number of Impressionist landscapes created using a variety of working methods: pastel, charcoal, oil on cardboard and oil on canvas. Whatever the medium, Hélis takes great care in the composition of his landscapes and in his depiction of light.

Along with Cézanne and Jourdain, he was one of the founding members of the Salon d'Automne in 1903, where he also exhibited his work.

Henri Hélis died in Paris in 1945, aged 72.

Henri Hélis did not make a lasting mark on his period in France, and was not very well known during his lifetime, compared with Cézanne, who worked with him, for example. However, some collectors appreciated his work, and the majority of his canvases are in private hands.
