Robert Tatin D'Avesnières (French, 1925-1982) , a well-known French artist, Robert Tatin works as a painter and sculptor. After gaining fame as the winner of the Gold Medal at the 1956 Brazil Biennale and First Prize from Critique de Paris, he decided to move to Cosse-le-Vivien and build his own museum.
Tatin became obsessed with this place in the Loire region of France and decided to immortalize himself and his art there in an open-air museum that is a fantastical paradise of exotic and unusual constructions.
His work intensely reflects both his philosophies on life as well as an extraordinary artistic talent. His influences are as wide-spread as African, Hindu, Tibetan, and Roman art. He often includes totemic symbols in his pieces that mark a meeting between East and West.
