French, 1864–1927
Paul Sérusier (1864–1927) was a French painter who played a pioneering role in abstract art and influenced the Nabis movement, Synthetism, and Cloisonnism. Born in Paris, he studied at the Académie Julian, where he later served as a monitor. In 1888, he visited Pont-Aven, joined the artists there, and painted The Talisman, an experiment in Cloisonnism that approached pure abstraction. Sérusier taught at the Académie Ranson, published ABC de la peinture in 1921, and died in Morlaix, Brittany.
