GEORGES LEMMEN (1865-1916)

Georges Lemmen was a Belgian painter and printmaker associated with Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism. Born in Schaerbeek, Belgium, he studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Lemmen was influenced by Georges Seurat and the Divisionist technique, applying small, distinct brushstrokes of color to create luminous compositions. His work includes landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and scenes of contemporary life, often combining precise draftsmanship with attention to color theory. Lemmen exhibited widely in Belgium and France and remained active until his death in Brussels.
