尚－皮耶．卡西紐 Jean-Pierre CASSIGNEUL（b. 1935）生於1935年，一個從事高級時裝產業的巴黎家族。1953年進入法國高等美術學院。五年後於巴黎的精緻藝術畫廊舉行第一次個人公開展覽。卡西紐爾筆下創造出美麗動人的年輕優雅仕女，令人聯想起那比畫派，二十世紀後印象派主義的前衛畫家，如：皮耶爾．波納爾、愛德華．烏依亞爾等人常刻劃的主題。而卡西紐爾充滿故事性的女性畫像，以及他使用的濃烈鮮明色彩，也喚起人們對基斯．梵．鄧肯表現主義手法的記憶。他的作品深受喜愛，展覽經驗遍及歐洲、日本、美國等地。

Jean-Pierre CASSIGNEUL was born in a Parisian family working on haute-couture in 1935. In 1953, he was admitted to the Ecole national supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and five years later, he had his first exhibition at the Galerie des Beaux-Arts. CASSIGNEUL creates beautiful, striking paintings of young dreamy women reminiscent of Les Nabis, a group of early 20th century Post-Impressionist avant-garde painters, including Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard. His work also reminds us of that of the expressionist painter Kees van Dongen, especially CASSIGNEUL 's dramatic portraits and his use of intense and vibrant color. His work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe, Japan and the United States.
