- Lot Description
Jean Michel Folon (Belgian, 1934-2005) watercolor on paper painting featuring a stylized face representing the moon in a dark blue sky, over a series of layered hills reflecting the moon's glow in muted shades of orange. Signed "Folon" lower right. Floated on an ivory mat in a glazed matte silver metal frame. Sheet: 11 in H x 15 in W. Frame: 23 1/2 in H x 26 1/2 in W. Biography: As a young man, Jean-Michel Folon initially studied architecture. He worked as a draftsman and illustrator in Brussels, Paris and Monaco before venturing into watercolors and printmaking. His first major exhibition of watercolors was held in 1969 at New York's Lefebre Gallery. He also exhibited in Milan, Tokyo, and the XXVth Biennale in Venice. In 1973 he was awarded the Grand Prize of Painting at the XXVth Biennale of Sao Paolo. As a graphic artist he created posters for organizations that aligned with his beliefs such as Unicef, Greenpeace and Amnesty International. He also illustrated books by Lewis Carroll, Jean de la Fontaine, Kafka, and Ray Bradbury. The Metropolitan Museum of Art held an exhibition of Folon's work in 1990 and Japan hosted a retrospective exhibit in 1995. Folon died in 2005 and left a museum outside Brussels with the profits dedicated to helping people with disabilities.
