Symbolist painter Gaston Chaissac was born in Avallon, France to a family of modest means. He was a self-taught painter, and did odd jobs until he moved to Paris in 1937. It was said that his interest in art was brought on by friend and neighbor artist Otto Freundlich, who gave him a great deal of encouragement and helped him to expose his work for the first time in 1938. The same year, he was also hospitalized for tuberculosis but created artwork just the same.

His earliest work is dominated by pen and ink sketches. He would eventually come to also work in colored pencil, gouache, oil and even stained glass. Chaissac would eventually be called a rustic-modern painter, basically a naïve painter who frequently experimented and was always searching for ways to express himself. His work is often mistaken for abstraction, but Chaissac was really a forerunner for European modernism.

Chaissac truly tried to separate himself from the current art movements going on in Europe at the time. He preferred to live in the country and would use unconventional materials like wallpaper, leather, furniture, rocks and cardboard, shunning classical mediums and methods. The stained-glass type black lines that would usually be surrounding his subjects are typical characters of his compositions. He also had obvious Cubist influences toward the end of his career.

Chaissac was highly prolific and successful during his lifetime, and his works can be found worldwide, including at the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

He worked nearly up until the end of his life creating a number of varied and unique pieces. Most of his works are clearly signed “Chaissac” in capital letters or in cursive script on the front of his paintings, though this may have not been a consistent practice for the artist.
