artistic evolution and notable exhibitions
from 1891, guilloux's works were met with success at the société des artistes indépendants exhibitions, followed by the "impressionists and symbolists" exhibitions at the le barc de boutteville gallery. this period saw a shift in his painting titles, which became more elliptical, sometimes tinged with musical connotations, such as scherzo moon (1894), location unknown.
these works, characterized by the structuring of space and distribution of forms and colors, were commented on by andré mellerio in his idealist movement in painting (1896).
