About the artist:
Emile Bellet is a self-taught artist who has aligned himself with the discipline of the Fauves (French for 'wild beasts') - a school of artists who lived at the turn of the century that includes Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne,Raoul Dufy and Maurice de Vlaminck. They painted in vivid non-authentic color and Bellet has mastered this discipline with an impasto knife, using highly saturated colors to paint his elongated mannerist forms. Bellet's paintings often center on a mysterious figure, representing a timeless and ageless femininity
Emile Bellet was born in Provence, France in 1941. He began to paint at 5 years old and by the age of 19 he held his first exhibition in 1960. When he was only 12, Bellet won 1st prize in a national art journal. In 1976, his career began in earnest when he was noticed by Galerie Guigne. Bellet completed the stained glass windows of the church "Notre Dame de Bon Voyage" (Our Lady of Happy Travels) in 1978 in Port de Bouc, France. He was also commissioned by the Alpine Maritime Region to paint the work "Travaux des Champs" (Work in the Fields).
Emile Bellet's paintings are notorious for the mysterious female he includes in his compositions. His wife, his daughter and musings on an idyllic kind of woman are all sources of his inspiration. The familiar female figure used throughout his work is symbolic of his impression of femininity. She represents all women and, for this reason, has no facial expression. She is timeless, ageless and universal.
