About the Artist: Robert Helman was born in Romania in 1910 before moving to Paris in 1927. Based in Montparnasse from 1946, he shared in the adventure of the New Parisian School without allowing himself to be trapped by a pictorial trend. He painted with bold gestures and a bright palette, his Soleil (Suns), Genèse (Genesis), Racines (Roots), Germinations, Arbres (Trees) and Envols (Taking Flight) have produced a vast personal cosmology. Robert Helman has thus managed to communicate his life force through powerful and lyrical work, by expressing whilst in harmony with Nature, the intimate bond uniting personal reality and figurative art. less
