About the artist
Gustave Loiseau, born October 3, 1865 in Paris and died October 10, 1935 in the same city, is a French Post-Impressionist painter. Born in Paris into a family of traders, butchers, originally from Pontoise, Gustave Loiseau spent his childhood in Pontoise. First an apprentice butcher in 1880, he left for Montmartre where he met Fernand Quignon, who taught him painting to which he decided to devote himself completely in 1887, following courses at the School of Decorative Arts. In 1891, Gustave Loiseau went to stay in Auvers-sur-Oise. He then lived in Pontoise for more than 30 years between 1904 and 1935. His workshop still exists in this city. From 1890, on the advice of Fernand Quignon, Gustave Loiseau went to Pont-Aven every summer, staying at the Gloanec pension with his friends Maxime Maufra, Henry Moret and Émile Bernard. Paul Gauguin gives him his advice. In 1894, he participated in the 6th, 7th and 8th exhibitions of Impressionist and Symbolist painters at Le Barc de Bouteville in Paris, then he signed a contract with Paul Durand-Ruel who exhibited his paintings in his gallery in New York.
