Henri Edmond Cross

Henri Edmond Cross (1856-1910) was a French painter who became a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist art movement. Cross's works were characterized by their use of bright, bold colors and their exploration of the effects of light and color. Cross was particularly interested in the science of color and his paintings often had a luminous, almost sparkling quality to them. Cross was a member of the Neo-Impressionist movement, a group of artists who sought to use color theory to create a more scientific form of art. Today, Cross's works are celebrated for their beauty and their contribution to the development of modern art. Some of his most famous works include "The Beach at Saint-Clair" and "The Golden Isles."
