Jean-Pierre Cassigneul

Jean-Pierre Cassigneul is a French painter best known for his striking compositions of fashionable women in floral hats. Using vibrant colour and smoky contour, his paintings evoke both the avant-garde graphic sensibilities of the French Post-Impressionist avant-garde, including the works of Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard.

A year later, he was appointed a member of the Salon d’Automne. From 1956 to 1960 he studied under the French painter Roger Chapelain-Midy, and from 1965 onwards he exhibited at the Gallery Bellechasse in Paris. Since then he has exhibited across Europe, Japan, and the United States, and has also illustrated several books, among them Le Tour de Malheur by Joseph Kessel.
