Lucien Philippe Moretti

The art of Lucien Moretti combines the keen observations of a dedicated people-watcher and the talents of a gifted draftsman. Moretti is never without his drawing pad, always capturing interesting characters and faces. His sensitivity to the complexities of the human being enables him to capture a variety of emotions. As a result, his oils and lithographs are populated with a concentration of activity and people. The series shown relates to the occupation of France by the Germans in World War II. Some scenes are lyrical, while others focus on the choas the war produced and the victimization of the Jews. The images here may have been originally from an artist's book of high quality entitled UN SAC DE BILLES (1975). All are lithographs.
