Hughes de Beaumont

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beaumont, Hughes de (1874-1947) was a French artist who produced work in the "intimiste" style which often depicted bourgeois settings. The term was coined - derisively, it seems - by Edouard Vuillard who used it to describe his own style.^[1] Other practicioners include Maurice Lobre, René Georges Hermann-Paul, Henri Matisse, Rene Prinet and Ernest Laurent. The Intimists first collective exhibition was shown at Henry Grave's galleries in 1905.^[2] The exhibition included several works by Hughes de Beaumont.
