    Claude Jousset biographical photo
    Claude Jousset, renowned French artist, born February 17th, 1935 in Paris, France, was known for his Parisian cityscapes and landscapes, French countryscapes, harbor marine, and Venetian scenes. Before he started any of his formal education, Jousset knew that he wanted to become an artist.

    He studied art at the École des Arts Appliqués (School of Applied Arts) in Paris, and began exhibiting wherever he could to gain experience and hopefully recognition for his work. It didn't take very long before he became known for his talent and exhibited his work in and around Paris. He also exhibited in other parts of France such as Trouville, Deauville, and Montmorency.

    Since 1963, he began winning one or more awards and 'honorable mentions' every year for his work. Awards include an honorable mention (1966), the Prix sue Conseil General de la Seine, the Prix Schaeffer, 1st prize of the French Landscape Artists (circa 1967), and the landscape prize in Deauville-Trouville. His works can be found in the City of Paris Museum Collection, along with other provincial museums and private collections.

    As far as we are aware, he currently resides in Paris and still paints throughout Paris and France, Honfleur, as well as in Venice.
