Impressionist Painting "Ballerina" by Andre Gisson
About the Item
"Ballerinas" impressionist painting by Andre Gisson (1921-2003). Soft colors and bright light are hallmarks of Gissons work. Although American born Andre Gisson is best known for his French impressionist style. In the original carved frame.
The artist was born Anders Gittelson in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Swedish immigrant-parents, Anders, or Andre, Gisson is his brush name. After high school Gisson enlisted in the Army Corps of Engineers, working to reconstruct roads and airfields in the aftermath of World War II, traveling extensively in Japan and France "never without his box of paints,".
After graduating from New York's renowned Pratt Institute, he would eventually further his art studies in Europe. There he became enamored with the great English landscape painter J.M.William Turner, the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer and such French Impressionists as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pier says.
The style and techniques of impressionism, with its small broken brushwork and high key colors, is one Gisson has developed and refined throughout his career. All of Gisson's paintings have the softness of line of the Classic impressionist. He is more concerned with the creation of a mood or feeling, rather than a precise depiction of the subject.
Gisson's work has been featured in distinguished gallery shows in London, Paris, Tokyo and New York.

André Gisson
André Gisson was born 'Anders Gittelson' in 1921 in Brooklyn, New York. A widely-collected American Impressionist painter, he is known for landscape, still life, portrait and figure paintings. In order to be seen as belonging to the French Impressionist movement, he claimed to be a Frenchman born in 1910, and adopted the artist name 'André Gisson'. He lived in New York, Westport, Connecticut and France for much of his life, and traveled widely. He studied at the prestigious Pratt Institute in New York. After graduation, he joined the United States Army and become a captain during World War II. Gisson continued his studies in Europe, where he came under the influence of the great French impressionists. Upon his return to New York, he adapted the style and technique of impressionism and used small, broken brushwork and soft and vibrant colors. Gisson's landscapes and beach scenes depict the French countryside, where he painted every summer, and the region around Lake Mahopac in upstate New York, where he lived for many years. Gisson's still life compositions show a Japanese influence in his work; whereas the French influence is more pronounced in his landscapes and figures. Several of Gisson’s paintings have been published and distributed internationally. His works have been exhibited in leading art galleries throughout the country for over four decades, as a solo show extended from New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Texas and California, also overseas locations in London, Paris and Tokyo. His work are part of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution and the Triton Museum of Art, in North Carolina. Among his private collectors were President Lyndon B. Johnson and W. Somerset Maugham. Gisson died in 2003 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was listed in The Artist's Yearbook (p. 332, 2000), Artists in the Southwest Art (p. 64, 1993) and Who Was Who in American Art (p. 1296, 1999).
