About René Seyssaud

René Seyssaud was a Provençal painter and is known as a precursor of Fauvism. On 27 April 1901, François Thiébault-Sisson wrote in Le Temps about Seyssaud:We should give first place here to someone who is like no one else, who is part of no group and who owes nothing to anyone except himself. Seyssaud is best known for his still lifes, his landscapes and the display of peasant life.
