-Post-Impressionism, Symbolism
-Louis Anquetin was a French painter associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements. He was known for his innovative use of color and form, particularly in his exploration of cloisonnism, a style characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color. Anquetin was part of the avant-garde scene in Paris during the late 19th century and was closely associated with artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. His works often depicted urban scenes, café interiors, and portraits, imbued with a sense of mystery and symbolic depth. Anquetin's contributions to the art world helped pave the way for the development of modernist movements in the early 20th century.
