Le bouquet dans les bras
(The Bouqet in Her Arms)
Signed “Cassigneul” (lower right)
Oil on canvas
Jean Pierre Cassigneul’s Le bouquet dans les bras captures an elegant woman clutching a large bouquet of lilies. She gazes out at the viewer with an air of both sophistication and self-confidence, and the scene’s dynamic lighting and framing visually unite the woman and her bouquet as one. Cassigneul’s couture influence is evident in the subject’s adornment, a luxurious pearl necklace and ruffled hat, which adds a note of refinement and glamour and makes this painting a true testament to his artistry.
As one of the most celebrated living French artists, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul is distinguished by his remarkable ability to create works that harmonize a contemporary flair with classic elegance. His use of a vibrant palette and flattened spatial planes reflects the influence of the French Post-Impressionist group Les Nabis, which included renowned artists Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard and Maurice Denis. Additionally, the expressionist painter Kees van Dongen significantly impacted Cassigneul’s development, as seen in his portraits that echo van Dongen’s elongated and sharply defined female figures.
Born in Paris in 1935, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul was deeply influenced by his grandfather, the founder of the pioneering French fashion house Jean Dessès. Immersed in the glamorous world of Parisian fashion from a young age, Cassigneul's early experiences observing models, dressmakers and runway shows left a lasting impact on his artistic vision. His passion for art emerged early, and by the age of 12, he had already painted his first landscape in Deauville. Cassigneul went on to study at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, and at just 17, he held his first solo exhibition. Since then, his work has been widely exhibited across the globe, with particularly strong followings in Western Europe, the United States and Japan.
