early life and training
charles filiger, a french symbolist painter, was born on november 28, 1863, in thann. as the son of a wallpaper manufacturer in mulhouse, filiger's artistic style would later be influenced by his family's profession. he first studied decorative arts before specializing in painting at the académie colarossi in paris.
association with gauguin and pont-aven
in 1888, filiger arrived in pont-aven, a village in brittany, where he associated with
paul gauguin, a renowned post-impressionist painter. this period significantly influenced filiger's work, as seen in his paintings from the late 1880s and early 1890s. other notable artists who joined the colony during this time include
paul sérusier,
charles laval,
meijer de haan,
armand séguin,
henry moret, and
émile jourdan.
artistic style and patronage
from 1890, filiger received a monthly payment of 100 francs from his patron,
count antoine de la rochefoucauld. this support allowed filiger to focus on his art, characterized by its geometric approach, expressionless faces, and mystical imagery. his landscapes, such as
breton shore, reflect gauguin's abstract quality and simplification.
