Biography: Félix Labisse (1905 – 1982) was a French Surrealist painter, illustrator, and designer.
He was born in Marchiennes. He divided his time between Paris and the Belgian coast from 1927.[1] In Ostend he met James Ensor, who influenced his work. Beginning in 1931 he designed for the theater.[1] His paintings depict fantastical hybrid creatures, and are often erotic. He painted the first of a series of blue women in 1960; among them is the Bain Turquoise.
He was the subject of a film by Alain Resnais, Visite à Félix Labisse (1947). In 1966 he was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts. In 1973 his paintings were shown in a retrospective exhibition at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Félix Labisse has 1,873 auction results less
