Colette Beleys (1911-1998) "provençal Landscape" School Of Montparnasse, Jean Lasne, Lucien Simo

Pretty canvas by Colette Beleys representing a Provençal landscape, signed lower right + two of the studio stamp on the back of the canvas Format without frame 46x33cm This is therefore a beautiful post-impressionist composition with a naive tendency by Colette Beleys who paints a landscape here, very probably Provençal, we can indeed see cypresses, a terrace, a flower bed and at least some hills. Here she uses a very nervous touch, hatched in places, rich in material and colors. Colette Beleys born December 20, 1911 in Paris and died January 23, 1998 in Ennery (Val-d'Oise) is a French painter. Active in Paris, his workshop was located in the Montparnasse district, rue Huyghens. She worked there for around sixty years. In this workshop many artists who were his friends rubbed shoulders, including Lucien Simon, Georges Rohner, Mario Prassinos, Francis Gruber, Pierre Tal Coat, Édouard Pignon, André Marchand, Jean Bazaine, Humblot, as well as great dealers, critics of art and museum curators such as Wilhelm Uhde, Maximilien Gauthier, Jean Cassou, Raymond Cogniat, George Besson and Bernard Dorival.
