The main part of the display in this hall consists of paintings by Albert Marquet (1875–1947), primarily landscapes.
The earliest works are Milliners and Avenue in the Luxembourg Garden (both circa 1901); the latest is Landscape with a Bridge (circa 1917). Impressions from life are conveyed through generalized patches of colour subordinated to the flat surface of the canvas. In contrast to the Fauves, Marquet avoided heightened intensity in his palette.
Also on show here are landscapes by Louis Charlot (1878–1931), Charles Cottet (1863–1925), Georges Dufrenoy (1870–1943) and Jean Puy (1876–1960).
