Huile on canvas – French School of the 20th century

Henri Plisson is a major French painter, ceramist, and illustrator of the 20th century. Named with the prestigious title of Official Marine Painter (POM) in 1973, he traveled extensively aboard naval vessels. His works are characterized by a very colorful modern post-impressionist style, playing with generous impasto with the brush or knife to capture the light of ports and coasts from all over the world.
An artist with multiple facets, he develops a body of work dedicated to landscape painting, figurative scenes, and ceramics. He regularly exhibits in Paris, notably in the Drouant, Breteau, and Chardin galleries, as well as in France and abroad.
