EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Felix Feneon, a prominent Parisian anarchist, art critic, editor, publisher, translator, and talent spotter. Taken around 1899 by Alfred Natanson, this print showcases Feneon's distinct personality through his intense gaze and distinguished beard. Feneon played a pivotal role in the art world during his time. He is credited with discovering the renowned painter Georges Seurat and coining the term "neo-impressionism" to describe the pointillist movement in painting. As an editor for Revue Blanche magazine from 1894 to 1903 - which was founded by the Natanson brothers - Feneon left an indelible mark on French literature and culture. Beyond his contributions as an art critic and publisher, Feneon also made significant strides as a translator. Notably, he translated Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey into French. His wide-ranging interests encompassed various artistic disciplines. After his passing in 1944, Feneon's widow established the Prix Feneon to support young writers and artists—a testament to his enduring legacy. This exquisite print offers us a glimpse into the life of one of history's most intriguing figures—a man who defied conventionality while leaving an indelible mark on both literature and visual arts alike.
