André Gisson was born Anders Gittelson in Brooklyn, New York in 1921. Raised in relative poverty, he eventually obtained a scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute, graduating with an art degree. Heavily inspired and influenced by the Impressionists, he found it difficult to obtain a loyal audience for his works in America, and volunteered to serve in the United States Army during World War II, rising to the rank of Captain while stationed in France. While there he found people far more interested in his work, and legally changed his name after the end of war. He remained in Europe for a time, studying art history and exploring many genres and styles there and, later, in Asia. He created hundreds of paintings throughout his lifetime, frequently paying for room and board with his work and rarely painting the same scene twice. He returned to the United States in the 1960s, with his works now more appreciated for their unique style and homages to the early French Impressionists. He eventually moved to Westport, Connecticut in 1977, where he set up a home studio and taught lessons as well as selling and exhibiting his work. In 2001 his health took a swift turn for the worse and he moved to Atlanta, Georgia to escape the colder winters, where he died on July 28th, 2003. Today his work can be found on permanent display at the Triton Museum of Art, and in many private collections including the estates of President Lyndon B. Johnson and W. Somerset Maugham.
