Bisson was born in Paris. She was the illegitimate daughter of French painter and sculptor Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919)[1] and Frédérique Vallet-Bisson (1862 – 1948), also a French painter who was leading the Société Féminine des Artistes.[2][nb 1]
Lucienne Bisson exhibited her works in many French Salons, among them the Salon des Indépendants.[2] She is famous for her Paris city views, beautiful landscapes and colorful still lifes.[citation needed] For instance, a Bisson painting captured the "heavy atmosphere" on a cloudy Paris street in 1920s.[1]
