Born in 1881 in Montfort-sur-Risle, René Sautin belongs to this generation of Norman painters who have made their homeland a genuine laboratory of light and modernity. Trained at the Beaux-Arts of Rouen in Philippe Zacharie's studio, then in Paris under Gabriel Ferrier, he received very early encouragement from Albert Lebourg, a fellow countryman and major figure of Norman Impressionism. Settled as early as 1911 in Les Andelys, Sautin finds on the banks of the Seine his most intimate inspiration territory: Château-Gaillard, the quays of Petit-Andely, the barges gliding on the water… As many motifs that he relentlessly revisits, with a vibrant sensitivity and a singular expressive force. He then mingles with the likes of Pissarro, Signac, Luce, Derain or Lebasque, who come to paint in the region — a thriving artistic circle that nourishes his stylistic evolution. Around 1923, Sautin abandons the Impressionist facture to affirm a calm and measured Fauvism, made of bold colors, generous texture, and definitive brushstrokes. "To paint is to spread paste," he used to say, claiming a powerful, corporeal, deeply incarnate painting. This stylistic maturity, attained as early as the 1920s, fully blossoms in the 1950s, where his work grows in intensity and monumental scale. 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 force, bear witness to a deeply personal vision — a vision that continues to touch collectors and art lovers.
