Sérusier was born in Paris. He studied at theAcadémie Julian and was a monitor there in the mid-1880s.[2] In the summer of 1888 he travelled toPont-Aven and joined the small group of artists centered there aroundPaul Gauguin.[3] While at the Pont-Avenartist's colony he painted a picture that became known asThe Talisman, under the close supervision of Gauguin. The picture was an extreme exercise inCloisonnism that approximated to pure abstraction.[4] He was aPost-Impressionist painter, a part of the group of painters calledLes Nabis. Sérusier, along withPaul Gauguin, named the group.Pierre Bonnard,Édouard Vuillard andMaurice Denis became the best known of the group, but at the time they were somewhat peripheral to the core group.
In 1892 Sérusier met and befriendedCharles Hodge Mackie while theScottish artist and his wife were honeymooning in France. This friendship led to him contributing the illustrationPastorale Bretonne toThe Evergreen: A Northern Seasonal: The Book of Spring published byPatrick Geddes and Colleagues inEdinburgh in 1895.[5]
