COULON (Berthe).
"Crowd" (1973). Oil on panel, mounted in a grey aluminum frame. Dim. frame : 105,5 x 80,5 cm ; subject : 105 x 80 cm. Berthe Coulon started painting at the age of 60 and painted about three hundred pictures in ten years. Her style is close to naive painting. Her compositions are often made up of crowds that seem to be carried away by a mysterious undulation. Berthe Coulon was a concert pianist and had a nameless fear of the public; her paintings are a way to exorcise this fear. She is 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 the work of Michel de Ghelderode.
