Notable worksHonoré Daumier, l'homme et l'œuvre

He was a contributor to L'Événement, Le Paris and L'Éclair and in 1894 was one of the founders of the satirical journal Le Rire, becoming its artistic director. He was later art critic for Le Figaro.[1] Alexandre and Félix Fénéon were the first to use the term 'pointillism', in 1886, and Alexandre alone coined the term 'the Rouen School', in 1902 in a catalogue to an exhibition of the work of Joseph Delattre at the galerie Durand-Ruel à Paris. He also wrote several articles for Le Théâtre, notably 'Le Théâtre au Salon' in June 1898 and several theatre reviews.

He was Inspecteur Général des Musées during the First World War.[2]

gollark: Er, yes it does.
gollark: Working on converting <@509849474647064576> to support TIO instead of Coliru. It is not going well.
gollark: So just write no code?
