Cloisonnism

The cloisonnism is a pictorial technique invented in 1886 by a young painter, Louis Anquetin.
This technique takes as a starting point the technique of the Vitrail, of the Japanese prints (japonism), the Images of Épinal and the primitive arts.

The cloisonnism is characterized by encircled blocks of color of a darker feature. This ring makes it possible to delimit the flat tints of color the ones compared to the others. It also makes it possible to emphasize the painted elements.

The precursory artists influenced by Louis Anquetin but also by the Japonisme are Paul Gauguin, Maurice Denis, or Henri of Toulouse-Lautrec.

Today, the cloisonnism is an indissociable technique of the Cartoon and Cartoon. Contemporary artists such as Valerio Adami and Pierre Alechinsky adapted this pictorial technique.
