Bissiere belonged to an earlier generation than that of the painters who came to the fore after 1945, but he followed up a similar line of research. The color, light and forms of his paintings seem to evoke something known and familiar; there is a hint of naturalistic inspiration. But there is a new poetry here because the original inspiration has been transformed by a sense of style based on an intelligent assimilation of the Post-Impressionism and Cubism. In the result his pictorial language is intensely personal, independent of visual appearances and always controlled by a rational, Cartesian norm. It is in the best French Tradition. See less
