Theodor Jozef Mousson (1887–1946) was one of the significant painters of the 20th century, who, like many other artists of the time, embraced the diverse influences of French art, especially Impressionism. In his family there was a saying that their ancestors had come from France in the 17th century and settled in southern Hungary as millers. Theodor's father, Julius Mousson, was a schoolmaster, cantor and organist in the local church. His mother Josephine, née Pichler, was the daughter of a baker.
