Born on May 20, 1856, Cross initially enjoyed lessons from the well-known portrait painter Varolus-Duran. But already during and especially after his studies at the Écoles Académiques de Dessin et d'Architecture in Lille he devoted himself to Pointillism. In the technique of Pointillism, various splashes of colour are placed next to each other, which together form a motif. The spots of colour can either be very small or larger. In Cross, Pointillism developed from very small and narrow spots of colour in rather muted colours to larger and more colour-intensive spots. The use of colour as a means of design and abstraction are his most important stylistic devices. As a pioneer of 20th century painting, Cross influenced the French avant-garde. His works are particularly distinguished by the light-flooded views of the French Riviera.
Cross was influenced above all by his teacher Alphonse Colas. Through the influence of Paul Signac, however, Cross discovered outdoor painting, Impressionism and the French Mediterranean coast as motifs. But also because of his rheumatic illness, which caused him to move to the Côte d'Azur, the motifs of the Riviera became the central theme of his work. With his impressionistic pictures he depicted the Riviera as an earthly paradise. Cross painted pictures that can be described with a colour rush. He was anxious to make pure happiness visible in his works.
Besides Paul Signac and Georges Seurat, Cross was a founding member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants. The members of this association were progressive-minded artists.
In 1904 Cross received a visit from Henri Matisse who again had a strong influence on his work. From 1906, oil painting was replaced by watercolour. This also changed Cross' style. The brushstrokes became softer and the technique less obstinate. The colours became stronger and the transfigured landscapes were joined by more mystical motifs, which were interwoven with allegorical reminiscences. At the age of 53, Cross died of cancer on 16 May 1910.
