COULON (Berthe).
"Blue Crowd." Oil on panel, signed in the lower right corner, mounted under a grey aluminium frame. Frame size : 52 x 42,5 cm ; subject : 49 x 39,5 cm. Berthe Coulon started painting at the age of 60 and painted in ten years about three hundred paintings. Her style is close to naive painting. Her compositions are often made up of crowds that seem to be swept away by a mysterious ripple. Berthe Coulon was a concert pianist and had an unnamed fear of the public; her paintings are a way of exorcising this fear. She was also inspired by bullfights, cathedrals, Eddy Merckx's performances, Ensor's masks. She stages figures, both human and diabolical, and skeletons create in some paintings an atmosphere close to that of Michel de Ghelderode's work.
