Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Style and technique by Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer

Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer finds his own style and draws inspiration from several artistic currents, such as Academism and, more particularly, Symbolism, with its attraction to dreams, a certain mysticism and a form of melancholy, in reaction to naturalism. His style is also reminiscent of the Romanticism and Pre-Raphaelitism of the early 19th century, recalling the paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais. He paints women with a symbolic, even mythological character, in a vaporous style and, being a proponent of the "non finito" style, the background against which the busty figures are depicted is relatively abstract or sketchy.

The life of Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer

Born in Algiers in 1865, Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer began his artistic training in 1879 at the École Communale Supérieure de Dessin et de Sculpture in Paris. His spectacular mastery of pastel and drawing quickly earned him a reputation, and he worked at Clément Massier's Manufacture for 8 years. Some works are signed in collaboration by both artists, but there is no vase attributed to Dhurmer alone.

How to recognize Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer's signature

The artist didn't sign all his works, which doesn't make for easy appraisal, but his signature appears as a voluptuous, clearly visible idiogram in a flowing script.
