Camille BARTHELEMY (1890-1961) - Lot 28
Camille BARTHELEMY (1890-1961) Chapelle et deux béguines à Bruges, oil on canvas, signed and dated "1932" lower right, 80 x 60 cm. Note: Camille Barthélémy (Saint-Mard, 1890 - 1961) was a Belgian painter trained at the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Privat-Livemont and began his career in the decorative studios of Delvigne-Verlaet and Antoine Daens. A noted pupil of watercolorist Nestor Outer, he first established himself as a decorator before turning to painting in 1916. Influenced by Impressionism and Flemish landscapes (Mechelen, Ghent, Brussels), he gradually developed a more personal language, marked by strong colors and geometrically structured forms, notably in his views of the Ardennes and Gaume. His exhibition L'Ardenne sous la neige (Brussels, 1931) confirmed his place as one of the leading regional painters. Settling in Chiny, he pursued an active career between Belgium and abroad (Paris, Algiers, Brighton), taking part in numerous exhibitions and winning a silver medal at the Salon des Artistes français in 1928. Close to literary circles, he collaborated with Richard Dupierreux and Adrien de Prémorel, for whom he produced several illustrations. He also left a series of engravings dedicated to the Clochers de Gaume (1950), testifying to his enduring attachment to his land.
