His work *The Western Railway at its Exit from Paris* (1886[1]) is often cited, and he gained recognition from peers like Signac and Pissarro for his conté crayon drawings.What was Charles Angrand's art style?
Charles Angrand experimented with Divisionism and Pointillism[1], applying the latter to industrial subjects with restraint.
