Description
L'Enfant Robot is an original color etching and aquatint on wove paper, realized in the half 1970s by the Belgian illustrator Jean Michel Folon (1934-2005). Hand-signed in capital letter and in pencil on the lower right margin. Numbered edition, 17/99. Mixed colored etching.
Jean Michel Folon (1934 – 2005) The Belgian illustrator, painter, and sculptor, Jean Michel Folon worked with many materials and in many fields: watercolor, printmaking, sculpture, tapestries, paintings, stamps, and theater sets. His work is inspired by the principles of poetry. Among other exhibitions, he had solo shows at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels (1975), at the Lefebre Gallery in New York, and at the Alice Pauli Gallery in Lausanne (1979). In 1990, a major exhibition brought together his works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The artist founded his own museum, the “Fondation Folon” in 2000, located in La Hulpe Solvay in Belgium.
