Claude JOUSSET (born 1935). "Les quais et Notre-Dame en Hiver". Oil on canvas signed lower left, countersigned, titled on the back and annotated "Paris 14e" on the back (slight loss of material, a small hole in the upper center). Height 38 cm - Width 55.5 cm Note: A student at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués and friend of painter Lucien Terny, Claude Jousset followed a classical training, but turned to advertising once he had finished his studies. He created numerous sets for Parisian restaurants and cafés. He took part in his first Salon in 1963, and his talent was immediately recognized: in 1967 he was awarded the 1st Prix des Paysagistes Français at the Salon des Artistes Français. Although Paris is his favorite subject, he is also interested in the French countryside and the Normandy seaside, defining himself as a "painter of poetic reality".
