About the artwork
This page presents "Seaweed Gatherers, Yport" (c. 1889), created by Claude Emile Schuffenecker. It is listed in the Drawings collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Drawings in brief: Because line carries so much of the effect, drawings tend to reward close looking at the quality of the mark. Artists have long used drawings to plan paintings, sculptures, and buildings, so a sketch can show how an idea developed. Historical background, c. 1889: In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do.
