Soft colors and bright light are hallmarks … more Stunning Impressionist Portrait of a Young Girl" by Andre Gisson (1921-2003 NY, France). 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. less
