Gustave Loiseau

Born : 1865Died : 1935Documented citizenships : France

The French painter Gustave Loiseau (1865–1935), associated with Post-Impressionism, developed a body of work attentive to landscapes and seasonal variations. Born in Paris on 3 October 1865, he died there on 10 October 1935. His training included courses at the École des arts décoratifs de Paris, which he entered in 1887, according to a source in the dossier.

From 1890, he travelled to Pont-Aven every summer and stayed at the Pension Gloanec, where he met, among others, Maxime Maufra, Henry Moret and Émile Bernard; Paul Gauguin also offered him advice. After a stay in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1891, he settled in Pontoise, where he lived from 1904 to 1935. In 1894, he took part in the sixth, seventh and eighth exhibitions of Impressionist and Symbolist painters organised at Le Barc de Bouteville in Paris. He subsequently signed a contract with Paul Durand-Ruel, who showed his paintings in his New York gallery.

Loiseau painted many rural scenes directly from nature. The seasons recur throughout his work: his subjects range from early spring to the autumn harvest and also include snow- or frost-covered landscapes. He sometimes revisited the same orchard or garden at different times of the year. His work was not limited to landscape: it also included market scenes, figures in motion or at work, few portraits and, especially towards the end of his life, many still lifes.

Several works are recorded in public collections: Bois d’Ennery (1889) at the musée d’art et d’histoire Louis-Senlecq in L’Isle-Adam; La Pointe du Jars au Cap Fréhel (1905) at the musée des beaux-arts de Rennes; L’Eure en hiver at the musée d’Orsay; and Le pont suspendu à Triel (1917) at the musée Lambinet in Versailles. His work was featured in the exhibition “Gustave Loiseau et la Bretagne, 1935-1965” at the musée de Pont-Aven from 30 June to 1 October 2001, and later alongside works by artists associated with Paul Durand-Ruel and Post-Impressionism at the propriété Caillebotte in Yerres, in the spring and summer of 2021. In 1979, Jean Melas Kyriazi’s monograph, Gustave Loiseau : L’historiographe de la Seine, was published in Athens by Papyros Arts Graphiques.
