Gaston Chaissac

Gaston Chaissac was a French self-taught painter.

In 1937, the painter Otto Freindlich, who happened to be his neighbor, recognized his talent and guided Chaissac, a simple laborer, into the field of painting. In addition to painting, Gaston Chaissac used everyday objects to create his Totems, painted on canvas, cardboard, stone, sheet metal, glued from stumps, used wooden boards...
