Albert Marquet was
a French painter, associated with the Fauvist movement. He initially became one
of the Fauve painters and a lifelong friend of Henri Matisse. Marquet
subsequently painted in a more naturalistic style, primarily landscapes, but
also several portraits and, between 1910 and 1914, several female nude
paintings. The English painter John McLean is among those who consider that
"his (Marquet's) feeling for colour, the lightness or darkness and
saturation of it, its weight, is nothing less than astounding." Marquet
was particularly revered by the American painters Leland Bell and his wife
Louisa Matthiasdottir. He was also revered by Bell's contemporaries Al Kresch
and Gabriel Laderman. Since both Bell and Laderman were teachers in several
American art schools, they have had an influence on younger American figurative
artists and their appreciation of Marquet. Unlike Matisse, there are no obvious
periods of change in his work. As one of Matisse's closest friends, they
discussed each other's work with the greatest openness. Marquet's death was
unexpected and sudden, from a gall bladder attack and subsequently discovered
cancer, for which at that time there was no therapy. He died in La
Frette-sur-Seine, on 14 June 1947.
