LUC PEROT 'Colette' portait de femme Fauviste, oil on canvas 1947

An impressive Fauvist-style portrait of a woman, Colette, painted in 1947 by Luc Perot, who was only 25 at the time.

The brushwork is straightforward, with large flat areas of colour, already revealing the mastery of this painter from Namur, who was destined for a bright future.

This painting is in fine condition, making it a great opportunity for collectors.

Biography:
Luc Perot (Namur 1922 - 1985) was a Belgian post-expressionist painter.
He trained at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Namur and was a pupil of Albert Dandoy and Paul Delvaux at La Cambre (Brussels) in the monumental painting studio. In 1950, he became a professor at the Académie de Namur. Influenced by Flemish expressionism (Rik Wouters...) but also by Belgian symbolism (Léon Spilliaert...) and Henri Matisse.
He expresses himself through lyrical abstraction tinged with symbolism, where dreams, mystery and colour dominate. His works are bathed in a singular intimacy, with a definite plastic strength, finding inspiration in his life and the world around him.
Luc Perot, indifferent to fashions, manages to move seamlessly from black and white to the most intense colour, from a neutral touch to a feverish attack, as his extensive output bears witness.
From 1945 he exhibited in Namur and throughout the country (Ostend, etc.), including, in 1974, in Laethem-St-Martin, alongside Léon Spilliaert and Paul Delvaux, two undisputed masters of Belgian painting. He has also exhibited at various times throughout France and in Poland, both in group and solo shows. He has also received several awards and distinctions. His work can be found in numerous collections, both private and public.
