Born in 1881 in Montfort-sur-Risle, René Sautin belongs to that generation of Norman painters who made their native land 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 early received encouragement from Albert Lebourg, a compatriot and major figure of Norman Impressionism. Settled from 1911 in Les Andelys, Sautin finds on the banks of the Seine his most intimate realm of inspiration: Château-Gaillard, the quays of Petit-Andely, the barges gliding on the water… So many motifs that he revisits tirelessly, with a vibrant sensibility and a singular expressive force. He then frequents the sons of Pissarro, Signac, Luce, Derain, or Lebasque, who come to paint in the region — a bustling artistic circle that feeds his stylistic evolution. Around 1923, Sautin abandons the impressionistic approach to affirm a calm and reasoned fauvism, made of bold colors, generous impasto, and definitive strokes. “To paint is to spread pâte,” he said, claiming a powerful, sensual, deeply incarnate painting. This stylistic maturity, reached as early as the 1920s, fully blossomed in the 1950s, where his work gained in intensity and monumentality. Proud, sensitive artist, sometimes misunderstood in his time, René Sautin leaves today a body of work of great coherence, where Normandy appears transfigured by color and emotion. His landscapes, of rare strength, bear witness to a deeply personal vision — a vision that continues to move collectors and art lovers.
