James Rassiat Art

French, 1909-1998
James RASSIAT (1909-1998) James Rassiat, a graduate of the School of Applied Arts in Paris, was an advertising designer at the Office of Art Editions in Paris, from 1935 to 1940. An independent painter, he exhibited for more than 40 years in the major Parisian salons: Salon of French artists, Salon d'Automne and mainly International Society of Fine Arts or SIBA (ex Colonial Society) during which time he received many prizes. James Rassiat was also an approved painter for the French Navy, where he participated for more than 20 years in numerous expeditions. He won several awards and prizes from the Salon de la Marine and was awarded a medal of honour in 1960. His execution techniques were very varied: watercolour, pen, gouache, oil on canvas and paper. James Rassiat, diplômé de l’Ecole des Arts Appliqués de Paris, fut dessinateur publicitaire à l’Office des éditions d’art à Paris, de 1935 à 1940. Devenu peintre indépendant, il exposera pendant plus de 40 ans dans les grands salons parisiens : Salon des artistes français, Salon d’Automne et principalement Société internationale des beaux-arts ou SIBA (ex Société coloniale) ce qui fait une cinquantaine d’expositions lors desquelles de très nombreux prix lui ont été décernés. James Rassiat fut aussi peintre agréé de la Marine française, avec laquelle il a participé pendant plus de 20 ans à de très nombreuses expéditions. Il obtint plusieurs récompenses et prix du Salon de la Marine et fut médaillé d’honneur en 1960. Un des aspects de son talent est d’avoir été à la fois habile et sensible, et d’avoir conjugué ces deux caractéristiques apparemment antinomiques, dans une finalité esthétique d’exception. Ses techniques d’exécution étaient très variées : aquarelle, plume, gouache, huile sur toile et papier.
