Raymond MOISSET's expressionist works are rare on the market, he only painted expressionism until 1950, when he turned to the abstract.
Raymond Moisset was in the 1920s a student of the National School of Applied Arts and Crafts. He is nevertheless said to be self-taught in the field of painting ("His great school will be the street" it is said3) that he worked mainly alone until 1936 (first personal exhibition and first salon in Paris in 1934), even if he attended the free academies of Montmartre.
Around 1935, with among others Pierre Tal-Coat, André Marchand, Georges Rohner and Robert Humblot, he formed the Forces Nouvelles group which denounced any intellectual pretension of painting, giving no other vocation to painting than to provide a emotion through the humble reality of things 5. It is in this spirit that Raymond Moisset will remain the friend of Francis Gruber, met in 1936, until the latter's untimely death in 1948, and that until 1950 he will be the painter of an everyday reality, although ordered in its composition. We then perceive that “Raymond Moisset, in his compositions, tries his hand at expressive distortions imbued with the love of El Greco, a love that the painter wishes to affirm” 6.
Jean-Jacques Lévêque evokes Raymond Moisset among the painters who, from 1942 and all expressions combined, support and accompany Gaston Diehl in his refusal to submit art to the occupying ideology. This movement (where our artist rubs shoulders with his old friends Francis Gruber, Georges Rohner and André Marchand as much as the surrealist Lucien Coutaud or the abstracts Alfred Manessier and Gustave Singier) will lead to the creation of the Salon de Mai of which Raymond Moisset will be, from the first demonstration of 1945 and for twenty-five years, regular exhibitor7.
Raymond Moisset's first abstract canvas is identified by Lydia Harambourg as being his shipment from 1950 to the sixth Salon in May1. This passage to abstraction, also situated by Michel Seuphor in 19508, is however not clear, clear-cut, absolute Note 1: From a palette reduced to a few brilliant colors, Raymond Moisset will then give to an always discernable reality ( his Nus bustureux of the 1970s, cited by Jean-Pierre Delarge2) rhythms which, like Edouard Pignon (period of the Nudes roses) or Jean Messagier will gradually become the end in itself of the painting without completely obscuring an underlying figuration, an intention of representation.
