About the Artist:
Felix Tisot (1909-1979) was a prolific French painter and lithographer known for his depictions of the country landscapes throughout the region of Var, France. A pastry chef by profession in La Seyne-sur-Mer, Felix Tisot discovered painting through his friendship with Eugène Baboulène (1905-1994). He painted instinctively, with lots of substance and a very intense palette. Provence was one of his favorite subjects, and his luminous landscapes, reminiscent of Impressionist techniques, were soon so successful that they spread beyond the south of France and opened the door to Parisian galleries. The generosity of his painting, which speaks to everyone, and his spontaneous, realistic style, without any sentimentality, ensured his success that he was able to change professions and make a living from his new status as a painter. He is the father of Henri Tisot.
