Men of sensitivity and passion, Gustave Courtois, left, and Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret were French painters and studio photographers during the Belle Epoque or 'beautiful era', one of the most creative periods in French history. They met as students at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the 1870s, then shared a studio and life together from the 1880s until Courtois' death in 1923. Both men used photography to support and inspire their work. Dagnan-Bouveret became one of the leading artists of the naturalist school, and Courtois was known for his paintings featuring sensuous young men.

Woman at her Toilette
Berthe Morisot
French/ 1875 to 1880
“Rendered with soft, feathery brushstrokes in nuanced shades of lavender, pink, blue, white, and gray, the composition resembles a visual tone poem, orchestrated with such perfumed and rarified motifs as brushed blonde hair, satins, powder puffs, and flower petals. The artist even signed her name along the bottom of the mirror, as if to suggest that the image in her painting is as ephemeral as a silvery reflection.” (from aic website)
