verso: Jean-Pierre Cassigneul (b. 1935) Au bord de la mer, 2005, oil on canvas 81 × 65 cm (31⅞ × 25⅝ inches), signed lower right

JEAN-PIERRE CASSIGNEUL Jean-Pierre Cassigneul has always been faithful to his preferred subject: women. Ubiquitous, sovereign, elusive, they are ever present in his work. Regardless of the season or the time of day, you will never find them committing the crime of inelegance. Presented thus, in dresses made from fabrics that subtly rustle, in wide-brimmed hats or little flowery bonnets, they belong to The Belle Époque, the Roaring Twenties, the New Look, the Sixties, and time does not alter her uniqueness.

Instantly recognisable, these women give nothing away...

Dominique Marny President of the Jean Cocteau Committee
