Features of the artist Charles Angrana: the first paintings by Angran were created under strong influence Camille Corotand later impressionists. Neo-Impressionist ideas of applying pure colors to colors made a decisive impression on Angrand - and it is in this technique that he finds his own style. A brilliant draftsman, Angran uses bitmap graphics, achieving filigree volume, light and shadow modeling with black color alone. In his paintings often the palette is reduced to several muted shades. In others, pointiistic strokes expand, making objects virtually unrecognizable. Tiny oil works in half a standard sheet A-4 can consist of read points.

Famous paintings by Charles Angrain: "Haystacks in Normandy", "Couple on the street", "Harvesting", "Mother and Child".
