Self-taught. Libertarian. Great lover of literature and His painting is divided into 3 very distinct periods: the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s. Towards the end of the 1980s, he reached the greatest expressive intensity.… Bright colors, translucent materials. Scenes of crowds – movements, agitations. Paintings filled with faces, masks, objects, letters, numbers. A multiplicity of characters strangely alone in this multicolored chaos and confronted with ambiguous signs, objects or words. Jean Dassonval participates in numerous collective exhibitions in Paris and in France, in salons and exhibited personally, especially in Paris. In the early 90s, the artist also developed in the United States."
