Born in 1881 in Montfort-sur-Risle, René Sautin belongs to that generation of Norman painters who turned their homeland into a true laboratory of light and modernity. Trained at the Beaux-Arts of Rouen in Philippe Zacharie’s studio, then in Paris with Gabriel Ferrier, he received early encouragement from Albert Lebourg, a compatriot and major figure of Norman Impressionism. Settling in Les Andelys from 1911, Sautin found on the banks of the Seine his most intimate source of inspiration: Château-Gaillard, the quays of Petit-Andely, the barges gliding on the water… These motifs he revisits tirelessly, with a vibrant sensitivity and a singular expressive force. He frequented the painters Pissarro, Signac, Luce, Derain, and Lebasque, who came to paint in the region — a prolific artistic circle that fed his stylistic evolution. Around 1923, Sautin abandoned Impressionist painting to affirm a calm and reasoned Fauvism, made of bold colors, generous texture, and definitive strokes. “To paint is to spread paste,” he said, advocating a powerful, sensuous, deeply incarnate painting. This stylistic maturity, reached already in the 1920s, fully blossomed in the 1950s, when his work gained intensity and monumentality. Proud, sensitive artist, sometimes misunderstood in his time, René Sautin leaves behind today a body of work of great coherence, where Normandy appears transfigured by color and emotion. His landscapes, of rare force, bear witness to a deeply personal gaze — a gaze that continues to move collectors and art lovers.
