Gustave Moreau
1826 (Paris) / 1898
It seems that at the end of his life, Gustave Moreau had achieved an unequalled ease and freedom in watercolour. He surprises us when his touch, increasingly diffuse, borders on abstraction. It would seem that in this field, Moreau opened up new avenues, with a promising future.
