The painter Emile Patoux belongs to the Belgian neo-impressionists. He mainly painted landscapes and figures in a bright, personal colour. During the First World War he was interned as a soldier in Harderwijk, where he painted fishermen and peasant types. For some time in the 1920s, he was interested in divisionism, a method of pointillery in which colors were chosen on the basis of scientific theories. In addition to being a painter, Patoux also worked as an architect and designer of stained glass windows.
