"Henri Charles Guérard was born Paris. His studio at 4, Avenue
Frochot, just off Pigalle and the Boulevard de Clichy, was a welcoming
haven for many artists in the Impressionist circle. Guérard started
studying architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts, but gave this up
to become a painter and printmaker.
Guérard regularly exhibited etchings and engravings at the Salon of
the Société des Artistes Français, and was one of the founders of
the Société des Peintres-Graveurs.
Manet "Au Cafe" 1878
Henri Guérard was close to Édouard Manet; he posed with the actress
Ellen Andrée for Manet's 1878 painting Au Café (in the Oscar
Reinhart collection at Winterthur), and assisted Manet in making etchings.
In 1879, Guérard married Manet's pupil Eva Gonzales. Guérard often
posed for Eva too. She was devastated by the death of Manet and died
herself the following day, while giving birth to her first child.
Guérard subsequently married her sister Jeanne, who also features
in many of Eva's paintings.
Guérard was an important figure in French Japonisme, alongside Frédéric
Regamey and Félix Buhot. He also contributed interpretative etchings
of paintings by others (notably Corot and Courbet) to the Gazette
des Beaux-Arts, and was considered one of the most skilled and subtle
masters of this interpretative art" (idburyprints.com)
