Note: This is a wonderful example of the artist's later style, similar to the work of Albert Marquet in its gently modern depiction of the woodland landscape. Marchand was included in pivotal Modernist exhibitions in France and Britain in the early 20th century, including Roger Fry's 'Manet and Post-Impressionism' in 1910 and another in 1912. The artist became associated with the Bloomsbury group around this time and his solo show at Carfax Gallery in 1919 was highly praised by Clive Bell. Works by the artist are in public collections across the UK, including Charleston, Tate and the Courtauld Gallery.
