Description

André Gisson (1921-2003) Parisian Scene oil on canvas. 16" x 20" in a 22" x 26"<br>frame. Fantastic 1960's Oil on linen by a well listed artist. No issues or<br>damage with painting or frame. Estate fresh, one of a pair with similar subject<br>matter obviously purchased at the same time originally. The other is listed<br>separately.<br><br><br><br>Andre Gisson came to French Impressionism with an unorthodox background. Born<br>Anders Gittelson in Brooklyn New York, the young man recognized that the<br>Impressionist movement favored older French artists who appealed to the upper<br>classes. Given this, he changed his name to Andre Gisson, and adopted a new<br>identity as a Frenchman born in 1910 - actually identifying as an older<br>Frenchman as he wanted to be associated with his famous French forerunners.<br><br><br><br>Gisson spent his remaining years in the Northeast, living in Westport,<br>Connecticut and traveling to New York City now and again. He exhibited in New<br>York, Washington, California, London, Tokyo, and Paris for more than 40 years.<br>Most of his art focused on landscapes, especially beach scenes like this<br>example. Although not a native Frenchman, his oeuvre certainly demonstrates<br>French influence with loose painterly brushwork that conjures a sense of<br>spontaneity and softly conveys the forms, and an emphasis on light effects.<br><br><br><br>Interestingly, this painting is accompanied by an old label that reads, "Andree<br>Gisson: Born in Besancon, France 1920, son of an artisan. Worked in the shop of<br>his father and started painting as a hobby. When a prominent Parisian art dealer<br>happened to see his paintings he was enthused about his talent and arranged a<br>showing of his work in his gallery which turned out a great success. From there<br>on he was on his way. His manner is of that 'conservativ' impressionism and his<br>subjects mainly devoted to the Parisian street scene. He still lives in Paris."<br><br><br><br>I have seen several of Andre Gissons' painting with this label, typically<br>Parisian scenes, all with strong auction results, he originally started with an<br>earlier date of 1899 on the label, then as he started to get more public<br>exposure I guess he decided to change the date to closer to his real birth year.<br>Also the stretchers are made by the same companies of other Gisson paintings<br>I've studies, and the style/quality of the artists work is spot on. I'm 100%<br>sure of the authenticity of these and guarantee it.
