Lazy Girl
La Paresseuse (the lazy one) by the French painter Guillaume Seignac (1870 - 1924). One of Seignac’s Neo-Rococo nudes with a transparent shawl, which he did so well.

Diana Hunting
Diana Hunting (1899) by the French painter Guillaume Seignac (1870 - 1924). Seignac was typical for the French academic style of the Salon and produced a kind of Neo-Rococo.

Innocence
One more of the sweet girls by the French painter Guillaume Seignac (1870-1924).
Innocence
It's easy to say that Seignac is pure kitsch. But I find him very interesting. At first he's a real academic painter of the late 19th century who has his roots deep in the Rococo.
Second, you can discover in this painting signs of Art Deco and of Pin-Up art.
So in my humble opinion Seignac is a real missing link!!

A Nymph
Nymph (1902) by the French academic painter French painter Guillaume Seignac (1870 - 1924).
Why is she looking surprised? Maybe she's watched by a Faun.

Neo-Rococo
These paintings are from the French artist Guillaume Seignac (1870 - 1924). Seignac was typical for the French academic style of the Salon, where he was very successfull with his mythological and nude paintings. Normally he combined both.
Usually its told that the French academic style had its roots in Neo-classicism. But I think at least Seignac is nearly pure Neo-Rococo. Here are the same pastel colors, the same lascivious women in the same poses. The only difference is that the women are a little less curvy and maybe a little more childish.
Maybe its a influence of the Pre-Raphaelites or only an adaption to contemporary taste.
