Collection: Jacques Soisson

Jacques Soisson (1928–2012, Paris) was a French painter and printmaker. Trained at the Beaux-Arts schools of Toulouse and Montpellier, he worked for years as a child and adolescent psychotherapist and in 1966 founded an art-therapy studio. In 1969 he joined the Compagnie de l'Art Brut founded by Jean Dubuffet, and in 1978 gave up his practice to paint full-time. His work is close to Art Brut.
