Description:
Royal Academy Graduation Diploma ARTIST : Privat Livemont (Belgian 1861-1936) Privat Livemont was a Belgian artist who helped pioneer the Art-Nouveau movement in the early 1890's. He was an established painter who stumbled into posters after a brief career as an interior decorator: when he exhibited a poster design for an art exhibit he won first prize. Following this event, he trained himself in the art of lithography and created a number of advertising posters. Livemont's posters are recognized by his signature portrayal of women, richly adorned and decorated and always outlined in white to give them an aura of purity. Along with Paul Berthon and Alphonse Mucha, Privat Livemont as an artist exemplified the skills, delicacy and finesse of the latest years of the 1800's - his women were always graceful, elegant, and imminently spectacular. "By 1898, the "Poster Magazine" was calling Privat Livemont 'the uncontested master of Belgian posterists'. He had dazzled the poster world with delicately drawn designs, which while conceived somewhat differently from Mucha's, created the same final effect of celebrating feminine pulchritude in the service of commercial enterprise."(Rennert) "At the turn of the century Privat Livemont was asked to (produce graduation documents)… the most remarkable among these diplomas was one conceived in 1896 for the Royal Academy of Beaux Arts and school of decorative arts in Brussels… where classical female allegories embody the academic disciplines against a background of Brussels architecture."(Schoonbroat) The size of this piece is 21.5 x 11 inches unframed, and 23 x 12.5 inches framed.
