Jean Michel Folon Art

Belgian, 1934-2005
Jean-Michel Folon was a Belgian artist, illustrator, painter, and sculptor. He was born on 1 March 1934 in Uccle, Brussels, Belgium in 1934. He studied architecture at the Institut Saint-Luc. Jean-Michel Folon became internationally known in the 1960s for his illustrations of works by famous artists such as Franz Kafka and Boris Vian, and for his poster and advertisement designs. Among other things, the Olivetti (typewriter) advertising campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s are marked by his signature and have been included in numerous poster collections. In addition, he sketched a wide variety of newspaper and magazine articles (including Time magazine) with his illustrations accompanying the topics, which were often used as covers. His pictures are often laid out in a light and subtle as well as surrealistic-melancholic watercolour and pen technique. Folon's works, watercolours, sculptures and paintings have been exhibited in all the world's renowned museums.

Druid Point Signed Lithograph, Contemporary Fantasy Landscape, 1988

By Jim Buckels

Located in Union City, NJ

DRUID POINT is an original hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the Iowa born artist Jim Buckels printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches printmaking paper, 100% acid free. DRUID POINT presents a finely detailed fantasy landscape scene depicting a modern architecture cliffside house set high on a hill overlooking sparkling moonlit water and a deep blue night sky full of stars. Dramatic shades of dark blue, light purples, turquoise, greens, light beige, gray, black and touches of white create an intriguing nighttime ambience which keep the viewer's imagination engaged. DRUID POINT is a rarely seen, beautifully detailed architectural evening landscape evoking an aura of mystery and fascination. Print size - 27." x 27" unframed, excellent condition, vivid colors, full bleed image, no margins, square size format, hand signed in pencil by Jim Buckels Year published - 1988 Edition size - 350, plus proofs Printer - J K Fine Art Editions Co. NY DRUID POINT is a very impressive, hand crafted original limited edition lithograph not a photo reproduction or digital print! JIM BUCKELS Artist statement- "On one level, I think of myself as a decorative artisan, or at best a scene painter. I don't mind this distinction, because many of my heroes never achieved much more. It's a modest but honorable aspiration. The artists who have influenced me are quite dissimilar and usually less prominent in the pantheon of art history: Canaletto, the Flemish scene painters, the Hudson River artists...

The Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon was born in 1934 in Uccle, in the surroundings of Brussels. Although having made studies of architecture, he will be devoted very quickly to the drawing. He takes part, by its illustrations, with reviews and other periodicals ; he is considered a long time as cartoonist. Folon very early created a world which is clean for him into which an anonymous character seems to float or slip into an indefinite world, sometimes absurd. By the use of the color, its work takes a more pictorial turn towards the end of the Sixties. In 1969, its first personal show is organized in New York (Lefebre Gallery). In little time its universe is essential: covers of French and American newspapers...
