Lucien Laurent Gsell, Les Lavandières
France  • 1860

Presentation

Lucien Laurent-Gsell, born November 19, 1860 in Paris and died March 30, 1944 in Paris 17th, is a French painter and illustrator.

He is the son of the painter Gaspard Gsell and Caroline Adèle Laurent, daughter of the glass painter Émile Laurent. He associated his mother's name with that of his father.

He entered the School of Fine Arts where he was a pupil of Gaspard Gsell and Alexandre Cabanel.

He exhibited at the Salon of the Society of French Artists in 1880, and participated in the Universal Exhibition of 1889. In 1909, he moved to the National Society of Fine Arts, less academic.

He was the nephew of Louis Pasteur, and painted various scenes depicting the work of the Institut Pasteur.

He frequented Max Jacob, Guillaume Apollinaire, the Douanier Rousseau, and most of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. He painted both the elegant figures of Parisian good society, and popular balls or fairgrounds. He left paintings from his many travels, describing the Nièvre, the Creuse, the Riviera, the Azores, San Remo, and even Buenos Aires, where General Galliéni had sent him on a mission. He was appointed painter of the Navy in 1911.

He became famous for his genre scenes and colorful Impressionist-style landscapes; a great traveler, he painted in many provinces of France and especially the region of Dieppe and the country of Caux, as well as Provence and the Côte d'Azur, where he produced views of ports and seascapes. He also painted landscapes and scenes from North Africa, Mali, and Argentina.
