Paul Vogler

Vogler initially worked as a professional painter in construction before devoting himself entirely to his artwork.  He never studied with a formal teacher or worked in a studio, nor did he ever attend a fine art school or academy.  He was foremost influenced by and an admirer of Sisley, whose palette and technique he adopted.   T, Fellow Impressionisit Alfred Sisley acted as mentor and advised the young Vogler on technique and composition. Vogler was also an intimate friend of the  renown art critic Aurier, who was the one of first to defend the novelty of the paintings of Van Gogh and Gauguin. The artist was also discovered by renown art dealer Ambrose Vollard, who presented his paintings in his Paris gallery.

Vogler possessed an ease and sensibility to his painting that was noticed by his contemporaries.  His free application of color earned him a place in the ranks of the great Impressionist painters, and he had many fervent admirers in the early collectors of Impressionism.  He traveled throughout France, producing beautiful canvases known for their fresh, harmonious colors and radiant depiction of light.  He successfully exhibited his work along with that Bonnard, Vuillard, Lautrec and Signac at the highly prestigious Galerie Vollard in Paris.
