Guillaumin, (Jean-Baptiste-) Armand (b. Feb. 16, 1841, Paris, Fr.--d. June 26, 1927, Paris), French impressionism landscape painter. The longest surviving Impressionist, the most loyal, and probably the least known, Guillaumin was born in Paris of a family that had recently moved there from central France, where as a boy he spent much of his time. At the age of 15 he started working in his uncle's shop, whilst studying drawing in the evenings. In 1860 he obtained a job on the Paris-Orleans railway, continuing to paint in his spare time. In 1861 he entered the Acadeie Suisse and met Cézanne and Pissarro, with whom he was to remain on close terms for the rest of his life. They spent some time together at Pontoise, and Ceanne was greatly impressed by a view of the Seine that Guillaumin painted in 1871 (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). At this time all three were frequent visitors to Gachet's house at Auvers, and it was there that Ceanne did a portrait-etching Guillaumin. Ceanne also copied a painting by him of the Seine at Bercy (1876-78; Kunsthalle, Hamburg).
