SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Jean-Pierre Cassigneul, born in Paris in 1935, is a French painter and printmaker who trained with Jean Souverbie and Roger Chapelain-Midy. Colour and female figures occupy a central place in his figurative painting. Slender figures, often wearing hats, appear in gardens or beside water; flowers also provide subjects for his still lifes. These motifs form a repertoire that extends across several artistic techniques.
His practice includes lithography and book illustration. He illustrated La Fontaine Médicis, the first volume of Joseph Kessel's Le Tour du Malheur, published by Lidis in 1965. The circulation of his work in Japan is documented by the catalogue of Cassigneul, the Spirit of Love, an exhibition presented at Nagoya's Matsuzakaya Museum in 1998. His work thus brings together paintings, prints and illustrated editions.
This profile brings together identity references for Jean-Pierre Cassigneul and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
