Gustave Fayet

Gustave Fayet (Béziers, May 20, 1865 - Carcassonne, September 24, 1925) was a French painter.

Gustave Fayet's style is very personal, far from impressionism or academic work, rather more symbolism.

[2] Gustave Fayet was also an art collector, he owned works by Degas, Manet, Pissarro and above all Paul Gauguin.

In 1908, he bought the Abbaye de Fontfroide (near Narbonne, France), that he reconstructed and where he exhibited many of the paintings from his collection, among them "Day" and "Night" by Odilon Redon.

[4][5] Fayet was a man with a universal curiosity and his work reflects this by a rich variety of styles and techniques.
