André Dunoyer de Segonzac, French painter and graphic artist, 1884-1974

André Dunoyer de Segonzac was one of the modernists included in the Armory Show that opened in New York in 1913, with subsequent showings in Chicago and Boston. Segonzac found etching to be a congenial medium to his spontaneous drawing style, and by the end of his life he had produced some 1600 plates. The gossamer quality of his etchings stood in contrast to the thickly painted surfaces and generally somber color of his oil paintings, which reflected his admiration for Courbet and Cézanne. His subjects include landscapes, still lifes, and nudes.
