RENE CARCAN Original Etching Aquatint Signed ... Lot n° 161

René Carcan (1925-1993) was born in Brussels and died in Etterbeek, Belgium. He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts and Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. He was a prominent Belgian engraver and sculptor, who studied under Léon Devos, Jacques Maes and Johnny Friedlaender. His works have been shown in numerous international exhibitions including Galerie La Proue, and are closely associated with the work of Graciela Rodo Boulanger, who was also in the Friedlaender school. He developed an artistic style which has been compared to Henri Matisse's, of distilling a vision to an essential essence. His use of colour was influenced by Wassily Kandinsky and by Paul Klee. A museum was established in Brussels at the site of Carcan's old studio, the Fondation René Carcan (Rue Champ-de-Roi 122, Etterbeek), for the preservation and study of his life's works. This was both a museum and foundation, and exhibited works of his lithography, sculpting and jewellery design. Provenance from the estate of a deceased collector in the USA.
