... Cassigneul’s work has been praised for its simple aesthetic and structured compositions. His paintings represent beautiful women in elegant casual fashions enjoying lives of leisure. The sea, sailboats and beaches recur often, referring to an idealized lifestyle of a more indulgent and carefree era. Similar to the Les Nabis group of the 1890s, Cassigneul embraces the two-dimensional nature of the canvas and paints brightly colored backgrounds. His subjects are usually outlined or silhouetted, reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints. Adopting certain manners from the Expressionist painter Kees Van Dongen,
