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