French painter Gaston La Touche (1854-1913) post-impressionist painter, draughtsman and pastellist was a leading colorist of the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries, who associated with all the important artists of the period.
He was close friends with many of the Impressionists, but chose to follow an independent path in both technique and subject matter.
His extraordinary imagination revealed itself in his wonderful depictions of monkeys, fetes, balls, theatrical subjects and interiors, all tinged with a wry sense of humor.
