Artist Biography

Jehan Frison (1882-1961) was a Belgian painter, etcher, draughtsman, sculptor, and engraver. He studied at the Saint-Josse-ten-Noode Academy and then at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. Frison would later become friends with Fauvist painter Auguste Oleffe (1867-1931). Following in Oleffe's footsteps, Frison developed a powerful and singular art. The historian Paul Colin praises Frison's work, saying that his art "does not interpret the subjects and does not transpose anything, not even the colours. With a clear eye and an obedient palette, Frison plays with the tones of spring and summer, and enhances them with the fanfare of fabrics and the brilliance of flowers." The influence of Brabant Fauvism led Frison to focus on more intimate subjects such as interior scenes and still lifes.
