Born in 1881 in Montfort-sur-Risle, René Sautin belongs to that generation of Norman painters who have made their homeland a true laboratory of light and modernity. Trained at the Beaux-Arts of Rouen in the workshop of Philippe Zacharie, then in Paris with Gabriel Ferrier, he early receives encouragement from Albert Lebourg, compatriot and major figure of Norman Impressionism.
Settled from 1911 in Les Andelys, Sautin finds on the banks of the Seine his most intimate territory of inspiration: Château-Gaillard, the quays of Petit-Andely, the barges gliding on the water… So many motifs that he tirelessly revisits, with a vibrant sensitivity and a singular expressive force. He then frequents the school of Pissarro, Signac, Luce, Derain or Lebasque, who come to paint in the region — a fertile artistic circle that nourishes his stylistic evolution.
Around 1923, Sautin abandons the Impressionist facture to affirm a calm and reasoned Fauvism, made of bold colors, generous paste and definitive brushstrokes. "To paint is to spread paste," he said, claiming a powerful, sensual painting, deeply embodied. This stylistic maturity, reached as early as the 1920s, fully blooms in the 1950s, where his work gains 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, attest to a deeply personal gaze — a gaze that continues to touch collectors and art lovers.
