On November 25, 1865, in the Belgian commune of Schaerbeek, Georges Lemmen was born, a man whose artistic talent and keen sense of color and form would make him one of the most remarkable painters of his time. Lemmen, an eager student at the Académie des beaux-arts de Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, found inspiration in the works of Edgar Degas and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec in the early 1880s. His name is closely associated with the artistic associations "Les XX" and "La Libre Esthétique", of which he was a member and co-founder.
Lemmen was not only active as a painter, but also as a critic for "L'Art Moderne". His artistic development was strongly influenced by James Ensor and James McNeill Whistler, which led him to Pointillism around 1890. Lemmen was an artist who constantly sought new perspectives and influences, which was reflected in his two stays in London in 1892 and 1894.
Over time, Lemmen turned to decorative art, creating a series of posters, bookplates, and ceramic works. Around the turn of the century, however, he decided to devote his full attention to painting. He joined the association "Vie et Lumiere" in 1904, which underlines his deep attachment to art and artistic expression.
In the last years of his life, Georges Lemmen was drawn to the south of France, where he captured beach life in a series of works. In July 1915, he moved to Uccle, where he died a year later. But his art lives on, not only in the museums and galleries that display his original works, but also in the art prints that make his works available to a wider audience. These art prints are a tribute to the talent and passion of an extraordinary artist and allow us to share and appreciate his vision.
