Louvre de Paris
Azoulay's art, centers on his ability to convey the purity of line
to create strong illusions of fluid motion and life. Line is the key element of
design in Azoulay's artwork. It is through his organic line that Azoulay
creates balance, harmony, contrast, and the illusion of depth and movement in
each one of his compositions.
Guillaume Azoulay, a self-taught artist, was born in Casablanca,
Morocco in 1949. His parents settling in Paris when Azoulay was ten and by the
age of thirteen, he was sketching and selling his drawings on the streets and
planning his career as an artist. As Azoulay met people from various parts of
the world, his interest in traveling grew and when he was fourteen he left home
and hitchhiked across Europe and the Middle East. His desire to see and be part
of the life, history and beauty of the world took him from Copenhagen to Rome,
from Lisbon to Jerusalem. Azoulay made the world his university, people were
his main subject with their joys and pains and ways of life. Guillaume became fluent
in five languages.
Eventually, Azoulay settled in Israel in 1967 where he applied to
Betzalel, the Middle East's most famous art academy. They rejected his
application but this did not deter Azoulay from continuing his studies. Azoulay
studied drama and graduated as an actor. Azoulay appeared in the Israeli
production of the rock musical "Hair" as well as other shows on the Israeli
stage. Unable to share his time fully between the theater and painting, Azoulay
chose the expression of visual art. After moving several times Azoulay settled
in California in March of 1976 where he now lives with his family. Azoulay's
wife is Charmaine Seal, a noted ballerina, yet another one of Azoulay's
favorite subjects in his artwork. They have two sons Lawrence and Arnoud, and
daughter Ondine who is the subject of an etching that is part of the collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale Du Louvre in Paris.
Framing has handling wear shown in pictures. Some minor common creasing on print from Gold Leafing. All in all Very good condition.
