Luce, February-April 1983, no. 34.,Paris, Galerie H. Odermatt - Ph. Cazeau, Maximilien Luce, époque néo-impressionniste, 1987-1988.Luce began his artistic career as a wood engraver, taking drawing and painting lessons while continuing his apprenticeship. In 1887 through his friendship with Camille Pissarro he was introduced to Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, both of whom encouraged him to approach the application of paint with a Divisionist technique. He moved to the working-class district of Montmartre and became an increasingly significant member of the Neo-Impressionist group as well as a member of the Société des Artistes Indépendents. With only a few gaps he at the Salon des Indépendents every year from 1887 until his death in 1941. By the time he painted Quai Saint-Michel in 1900 his style had undergone a final transformation, taking some of the lessons of the stippled, Divisionist style of Neo-Impressionism and fusing it with an earlier, looser and less structured brushwork in the Impressionist idiom. The more spontaneous technique that emerged was perfectly suited to depicting the everyday spectacle of bustling life in fin-de-siècle Paris
