Henri-Edmond Cross, born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix, (May 20, 1856 – May 16, 1910) was a French printmaker and painter. In 1884 Cross helped to create the Society of Independent Artists in France. This society was made up of artists who broke away from the Salon, which turned them away for painting in the new impressionist style. Through this society Cross was exposed to Neo-Impressionists and their influence slowly began to inspire him to use brighter colors and to further separate himself from the sole use of realism within his work. His paintings later inspired the modern art movement of Fauvism.
