Jean-Pierre Cassigneul: Moments of Splendour

Stern Pissarro Gallery is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of Jean-Pierre Cassigneul in London. Renowned for his portrayals of enigmatic women, this quintessentially French artist with a distinguished international exhibition history stands as a modern classic.

Jean-Pierre Cassigneul has always been faithful to his preferred subject: women. Ubiquitous, sovereign, elusive; omnipresent in his work. Regardless of the season or the time of day, you will never find her committing the crime of inelegance. Presented thus, in dresses made from fabrics that rustle, in wide-brimmed hats or little flowery bonnets, she belongs to the 20th century. The Belle Époque, the Roaring Twenties, New Look, the Sixties - she moves through the decades, and time does not alter her uniqueness.
