Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli

"A holdover from early nineteenth century romanticism, Monticelli emulated the atmosphere and coloring of Rococo artist Watteau. Monticelli is capable of amazing breadth within a small frame, such as the bucolic landscape here. His admirers considered him "wothy to rank with Delacroix." His thick impasto-palette knife technique anticipates fauvism and tachism." 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends; inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center. (1970): 24.
