At the crossroads of several avant-garde movements of his time, Achille Laugé borrowed the divisionist touch
of Seurat and Signac without denying the impressionist heritage of the painting on the ground and the taste for the
Monet's series.
This same independence of spirit led him, in the 1890s, to leave the capital to return to his native village
of Cailhau. He then focused on painting outdoors and travels the region with a "workshop trailer" through which he painted many landscape studies.
he painted many landscape studies.
At the Lieu-dit l'Hort, he executed a series of large-format landscapes, one of which is now on display at the Fabre Museum
of Montpellier.
Like Cézanne and his Sainte Victoire, or Monet and his Meules, his route de l'Hort reveals Laugé's ability to
to capture the effects of light at different times of the day.
