About the artwork
"Tête de vieillard barbu, de face" (1896) is a work by Arthur-Joseph Gueniot. The catalogue places it in Drawings. The format is square. Drawings, a short history: Because line carries so much of the effect, drawings tend to reward close looking at the quality of the mark. Drawings range from quick preparatory sketches to finished works in pen, chalk, charcoal, graphite, or wash. About the period around 1896: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form.
"Tête de vieillard barbu, de face" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A square format is flexible and works well on its own or as part of a grid on a gallery wall. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
