This signed fine art serio-lithograph by Emile Bellet is another lovely and evocative image in bright fresh rich colors from this very collected French artist; complete with Certificate of Authenticity (registration #123940). The color on paper piece is 14" x 16" framed.

Emile Bellet was born in Provence, France in 1941. He began to paint at the age of fifteen years old, and by the age of nineteen years old in 1960 he held his first exhibition. He is a self taught artist who has aligned himself with the discipline of the "Fauvres", or savages- a school of artists who lived at the turn of the twentieth century, which included Matisse, Cezanne, Dufy, and Vlaminck. They painted in vivid non-authentic color, and, Emile Bellet has mastered this discipline with an impasto knife accentuating this color with the elongated forms of the mannerists.

The familiar female figure used throughout French artist Emile Bellets work is symbolic of his impressions of femininity. She represents all women, and for this reason has no facial expressions. She is timeless and ageless. She is universal.
