About Armand Guillaumin

Armand Guillaumin was a French Impressionist painter and lithographer. Guillaumin was finally able to quit his government job and concentrate on painting full-time in 1891, when he won 100,000 francs in the state lottery. In the eyes of contemporary critics, he became known for his assured brushstroke and use of bold colours.
