Biography of Gustave Moreau

(1826-1898)
French painter
One of the leading Symbolist artists.
Gustave Moreau was a pupil of Chassériau and was influenced by his master's exotic Romanticism, but he went far beyond him in his feeling for the bizarre and developed a style that is highly distinctive in subject and technique. The bulk of Gustave Moreau paintings is preserved there, main emphasis was the illustration of biblical and mythological figures.

His preference was for mystically intense art evoking long-dead civilizations and mythologies, treated with an extraordinary sensuousness, his paint encrusted and jewel-like. Although he had some success at the Salon, he had no need to court this as Gustave Moreau had private means, and much of his life was spent in seclusion. In 1892 he became a professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and proved an inspired teacher, bringing out his pupils' individual talents rather than trying to impose ideas on them. His pupils included Marquet and Matisse, but his favorite artist was Rouault, who became the first curator of the Moreau Museum in Paris (the artist's house), which Moreau left to the nation on his death.

During his lifetime, Gustave Moreau produced more than 8,000 oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, many of which are on display in Paris' Musée national Gustave Moreau at 14 rue de la Rochefoucauld (IXe arrondissement). The museum is in his former workshop, and began operation in 1903. André Breton famously used to "haunt" the museum and regarded Moreau as a precursor of Surrealism.
