Fernande Sitting with her Hands Crossed

André Dunoyer de Segonzac was a French painter and printmaker whose landscapes and still lifes combined Post-Impressionist color with a disciplined, structured approach to composition. Active from the early 20th century until his death in 1974, he developed a practice rooted in direct observation of the French countryside and interior spaces, executed in oil, watercolor, and etching. His work maintained a classical restraint even as modernist movements emerged around him, prioritizing tonal harmony and formal clarity over expressive distortion.
