Lucienne Bisson (6 July 1880 – 14 August 1939) was a French artist.
Bisson was born in Paris. She was the illegitimate daughter of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919)[1] and Frédérique Vallet-Bisson (1862 – 1948), a French painter who was leading the Société Féminine des Artistes.[2][nb 1]
Lucienne Bisson exhibited her works in many French Salons, among them the Salon des Indépendants.[2] She is famous for her Paris city views, beautiful landscapes and colorful still lifes.[citation needed] For instance, Bisson made a painting that captured the "heavy atmosphere" on a cloudy Paris street in 1920s.[1]
She died in August 1939, roughly one year before Nazi Germany occupied France during the World War II conflict. Her mother continued on living and managed to outlive Lucienne by 9 years (Frédérique died in 1948).
