Life

The drawings or paintings painted by the patients as part of the therapy were collected by him and he set up the Atelier d'art-thérapie . This important collection was donated to the Museum of the St. Roch Hospice in Issoudun with the support of Anne and Arsène Bonafous-Murat . He cooperated with the Institut Édouard Claparède de Neuilly-sur-Seine . A year later, in 1969 , Soisson became a member of the Compagnie de l'art brut and SIPE founded by Jean Dubuffet . An acquaintance between them followed. Since 1978 Jacques Soisson, animated and encouraged by Dubuffet , devoted himself entirely to painting and etching. He last lived and worked in Paris.
