Gustave Loiseau was active/lived in France. Gustave Loiseau is known for post impressionist landscape, still life and seascape painting.

Born in 1865, Gustive Loiseau had parents who were small butcher shop owners. They moved the family to Ile-Saint-Louis in Paris shortly after he was born. He became an apprentice to a decorator friend of the family. His parents, realizing that he was unlikely to change his mind about his future of wanting to become an artist, soon after sold their business and retired to Pontoise.

In 1884, after a year of military service spent in Paris, Loiseau returned to the apprenticeship with the decorator, but realized his true calling was to paint. In 1887 he established himself in Montmartre*, first in the Rue Myrrha and then at La Maison du Trappeur. He enrolled for one year in the Ecole des Arts-Décoratifs* in 1888, where he followed courses in life-drawing,which he felt he needed, until an argument with his teacher prompted him to withdraw.

While still working with the decorator, one of Loiseau's jobs had been to redecorate the apartment of the painter Fernand Just Quignon. Upon his departure from the Ecole des Arts-Décoratifs, Loiseau turned to this landscape painter as his teacher. He spent months at Quignon's studio, but eventually felt disappointed in the approach and methods of his mentor; he sought an attractive and inexpensive location where he could concentrate on landscapes and follow his personal inclinations and artistic convictions. On the advice of Quignon, a frequent visitor to Brittany, Loiseau arrived in Pont Aven for the first time in May of 1890. He befriended the myriad of artists in residence there, most importantly Paul Gauguin, as well as Maxime Maufra and Emile Bernard.

Loiseau developed a type of 'cross-hatching'* technique, called en treillis (latticework), which gave his paintings the supple, almost touchable quality for which he is known.

He debuted at the Salon des Indèpendants* in 1893, as well as in 1895 at the Salon of the Société Nationale*. He also figured prominently at the group Impressionist* shows in 1890 and 1896.

Toward the end of his life, while maintaining a studio on the quai du Pothius at Pontoise, Loiseau took another studio on the quai d'Anjou in Paris, where he painted from his window, as he had done in Pont-Aven.

He died in Paris in 1935.
