Louis Anquetin

Louis Anquetin (1861–1932) was a French painter from Normandy. In 1882 he arrived in Paris and studied art at Léon Bonnat's studio, where he met Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The two artists later moved to the studio of Fernand Cormon, where they befriended Émile Bernard and Vincent van Gogh

Around 1887, Anquetin and Bernard developed a painting style that used flat regions of color and thick, black contour outlines. This style, named cloisonnism by critic Édouard Dujardin, was inspired by both stained glass and Japanese ukiyo-e
