JACQUES OUSSON
« Il faut arriver à juxtaposer sur la toile
le sentiment de la réalité avec le sentiment du vécu. »
Born in 1937, Jacques Ousson took the « cours Charpentier » and was then admitted to « École des Métiers d'Art ». From then on, he continued his pictorial research by self-study. He lived in Montparnasse (in Paris) and became friends with Louis Quilici and Gérard Barthélemy. In 1976, he met the patron Pierre Levy and then lived in Madrid at the Casa de Velasquez from 1977 to 1979. He then returned to France, to Ousson-sur-Loire, so dear to his heart and from which he takes his pseudonym. Master of drawing, construction and colour, Jacques Ousson is a rare man. He is now recognized by his peers as « The » painter of the Loire.
« The Loire, just the Loire, may be enough to live and have a heart. The spaces belong to us and our deepest dreams as well as the course of the river, lead us to the desired goal, of the infinite. »
