Description

Bernard Charoy was born in 1931 to a family of artisans, in the Lorraine region on the East of France. His creative lineage and the artistic heritage of his region were to have a profound influence on his career.
Before entering boarding school he had already demonstrated his gift as a draftsman. By the age of 11 he was executing drawings and illustrations which showed exceptional talent and - something which is far more rare than technical virtuosity - a keen sense of human sentiment which would continue to mark his later works. His prodigious talent and introspective sensibility are brilliantly illustrated by the self-portrait at the front of the book, which he executed at the age of 17.
Charoy came to Butte Montmartre in 1955 to learn and work with the artists of the Atelier Dejoie. He came with his prodigious talent and a burning desire to learn and work. It was here that he learned the art of lithography and began applying his talents to the more difficult medium oil painting. At the same time he also made the necessary contacts with advertising agencies and newspaper publishers to pursue an artistic career in Paris.
Charoy found the world of advertising too constraining for his artistic talents. As he put it, "I had much more liberty in working with the press than in advertising. " He is more interested in illustrating persons or scenes evoking real emotions than in selling his talent to the world of commercial illustration. By 1961, Charoy's career as an illustrator was firmly established with such important publishers as Edi-Monde and Opera Mundi.
With greater material ease came artistic maturity and the possibility of returning to his original sources of inspiration.
It is in his native Lorraine that Charoy finds his true creative influences. This limited edition lithograph is titled "Nude with Beads" and is hand signed on the lower right and numbered 37/150 on the lower left.
It is nicely framed and matted in a silver wood frame measuring 27" x 33" in height. The condition is noted as good. For more information or to arrange an in person viewing call Richard Beau Lieu at 561-736-8181 or email: beaulieustudios@aol.com
