French painter. His interest in art was awakened at an early age in the studio of the graphic artist Eugène Froment, a friend of the family. He began as a wood sculptor, then studied graphics, finally turning to painting. At the Atelier Froment he met Maximilien Luce and Cavallo-Peduzzi. As an innovative artist, he enthusiastically partook in two artistic movements, which emerged nearly at the same time, Neo-ImpressionismGLOSSARYAn artistic trend that developed toward the end of the nineteenth century and became a revival movement for Impressionist painting. The Impressionist technique of juxtaposing small amounts of colour to create the impression of a total area that first becomes whole in the perception of the viewer was elevated to the supreme principle of painting and refined by Georges Seurat. Seurat wanted to give the spontaneous, impressionistic painting process a scientific foundation. His theories are underpinned by studies in physics, optics, and colour theory by Chevreul, Blanc, and Rood. Unbroken points of colour set directly next to each other (Pointillism, Divisionism, or Chromo-Luminarism) reflect not only the colour value of the depicted object, but also convey the colour of light as a reflection of the object, Other representatives of Neo-Impressionism include Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro and Henri-Edmond Cross. and SynthetismGLOSSARYA term that attained significance in the School of Pont-Aven, used primarily by Paul Gauguin to describe his method of picture development. In this method, the pictorial theme is stored in the mind of the artist in a process of thought synthesis and then applied to the canvas from memory. The result is not necessarily natural colours, but imaginary forms and decorative surface arrangements on the painting. A subject existing in reality thus becomes superfluous. In 1889 the Groupe Synthétists held an exhibition in which Paul Gauguin, Emile Bernard, Charles Laval, and Louis Anquetin took part. based on very different aesthetic concepts. He was influenced by Camille Pissarro, Paul Signac, Luce, van Gogh, Gauguin, and Émile Bernard.
Gausson exhibited at the SalonGLOSSARYIn the French language of the 18th and 19th centuries it designated an actual exhibition space, as well as the academic art exhibitions staged in the Salon d'Apollon of the Louvre since 1667. From 1737, the exhibitions took place biennially and, after the French Revolution, annually in the Salon Carré of the Louvre in Paris. Towards the end of the 19th century the official Salon jury was dissolved in order to make way for a committee of state-approved artists, i.e. former Salon members, who created the highly influential Société des Artistes Français. for the first time in 1886, and he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendant in 1887-1900. Between 1900 and 1910 he lived in Africa.
Gausson published his poems under the pseudonym Montesiste.
