You Need a Creative Crew | Art Doctor Quickies | Henri Fantin-Latour, Studio at Batignolles, 1870

Sure, at first this looks like a bunch of self-important white guys posing for posterity. And it is. But it’s also a record of friendship, creativity, artistic inspiration and generational change. Henri Fantin-Latour painted his buddies, and if you’d like to know more about any of them, check out the links below.

[BTW a few of these are in French, where I couldn’t find any good information in English. You can translate the page!]
