Édouard Bisson
Occasionally one, even the most pretentious of art appreciators, wants to just revel in something pretty. That's how I feel with Édouard Bisson's (1856–1939) work. It's pure romanticism celebrating captivating female beauty in a fin de siècle aesthetic. Women emerge from these soft magical surroundings, as their billowing gowns defy gravity. Nymphs are greeted by reoccurring putti. Even the portraits grounded in a more "realistic" (and I use this term loosely) setting. Tropical or softly-blended backgrounds are transplanted behind these sitters, their dresses caught as if in a breeze. These scenes are transportantional in their touch of magic.
Bisson studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904). One can recognise the traits he developed under his tutelage, such as the aspect of the less-than-accurate representation of reality dominant in the Orientalism movement.
Specializing in figurative genre painting, and some mythological scenes, Bisson held a successful career. He become a member of the Salon and received numerous awards and critical acclaim over the years.
