ABOUT THE ARTIST :
Henri-Julien Dumont (more commonly known in America as Henri Dumont) was a French painter, poster artist, lithographer, engraver and writer most known for his flower painting. Dumont was born on December 14, 1856 in Beauvais-sur-Oise, France to Alfred Dumont & Julie-Louise No. Dumont began his artistic training at about age sixteen or seventeen under artist Jules Frederic Ballavoine (1855-1901) at the Académie des Beaux-Arts, but was called for military service from 1876-1877. After leaving the service, he continued to study painting under Ballavoine at the Beaux-Arts.
In the following years, Dumont was an active part of French cafe society. He met and became friends with fellow painters Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) , Henri Gervex (1852-1929) and Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Of the group, Dumont was said to the be the free-thinker.
From 1881-1883 Dumont exhibited at the Paris Salon. Showing at the Salon would be short-lived. Dumont’s radical ideas formulated with his society friends gave birth to the 1884 Salon des Independants exhibition (the Impressionist show), an alternative to the Paris Salon.
In 1883, Dumont set up a painting studio at 11 Boulevard de Clichy and becomes a member of the Societe National des Beaux-art. By 1884, he is listed as a flower painter, but does not begin almost exclusively painting flowers until 1897-1900. Dumont signs his flower paintings “Henri Dumont”
