Grace Meibohm of Meibohm Fine Arts speaks about the life and work of Alexis Jean Fournier (1865-1948).
“Alexis Jean Fournier was a landscape painter who is a noted figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and is recognized as an influential member of the Roycroft community in East Aurora, New York,” according to a biography from the Burchfield Penney Art Center. “He is also one of the most recognized American painters in the Barbizon style… In addition to his work with Roycroft, Fournier worked with other artist colonies in Woodstock, New York; Provincetown, Massachusetts; and Brown County, Indiana.”
