Despite living a tragically short life, and leaving behind only a small corpus of work, Charles Dulac (a.k.a. Charles Marie Dulac) is today regarded as the most important French symbolist to have created color lithographs. Dulac discovered his true genius in lithograph, even though his paintings are now also gaining in appreciation. The artist saw his works in lithography as continuous experiments in the search for the fleeting emotions of nature, expressing the spiritual aspects of landscapes. Dulac printed each of his lithographs in carefully chosen schemes of delicate, often muted colors, concentrating on mood rather than detail. Emotional and mysterious, these images take us through a series of atmospheres ranging from the uplifting and the beautiful to the somber and melancholy.
