Œuvre
Bouvagne, a keen observer of nature, specialized in landscape and still life painting. His style remains split between classical Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; thin, relatively small, yet visible brush strokes, exhibiting an accurate depiction of light and colors that took precedence over lines and contours. Following the example of painters such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Bouvagne's palette is restrained, dominated by browns, blacks and silvery green, his brushstrokes carefully controlled.
Career
Camille Bouvagne studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon) under Pierre Miciol (French, 1833-1905), second Prix de Rome, engraving, in 1858, premier Prix de l'Académie française in 1860. Miciol himself was a former student of Jehan Georges Vibert (1840-1902), the French Academic Painter, and the first co-president of the Société Lyonnaise des Beaux Arts.
