2. Alfred Sensier,
Etude sur George Michel. Paris 1873. This monograph consists of a detailed biography, a
catalogue raisonné and etchings after his paintings. The number of etchings per copy vary in number from seventeen to twenty.
Michel is described in the biography as an artist of humble birth, who refused to conform to conventional academic art. Sensier emphasizes Michel’s individualism and his aversion to big cities. Cf. in this context Parsons and McWilliam 1984, pp. 39, 49, 53.
