About the author
Jean-Pierre Cassigneul (born 1935)
Jean-Pierre Cassigneul has built up a personal body of work on the bangs of contemporary artistic circles and preoccupations. Women, saturated-colored gardens in bloom in the heart of summer, and the seaside are among the subjects that have most captured his attention. Mostly alone, in profile, elegantly dressed, wearing a hat, his figures evoke Verlaine’s famous lines about women “who are, each time, neither quite the same nor quite another” (Poèmes saturniens, 1866).
