Michel Basbous (Lebanon 1921-1981)Tête voilée (Veiled Head) bronze signed, dated and numbered '2/8', number 2 from an edition of 8, executed in 197735.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 cm Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the Artist's EstateBorn in 1921, in Rachana precisely. Michel Basbous, son of a priest of a tiny village in the north of Lebanon was amongst the first students to enroll at the newly founded 'Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts'(ALBA) in 1945 and one of its first graduates. Three years on, and after his first public success in the capital, he left to Paris in 1950 were he joined the atelier of Zadkine. His master there, Gaumont, asked him the purpose of his stay in Paris, and Basbous answered, deadpan, 'To learn sculpture'. Gaumont replied: 'Lebanon, the Mediterranean, Phoenicia, Assyria, Babel, Egypt... You have them all. What are you doing here? Go back to your country.' Ultimately, Basbous would obey this sage stricture. But not before having accomplished much in Paris. Upon his return in 1956, and after a short stay in Beirut, he took the surprising decision to move back to his native village Rachana. Back then, Rachana was not even accessible by asphalted roads. ' It was a new experience for me. As I did not have a workshop in the village, I placed my works on the side of the road and started working in the open air.'Michel spared no efforts to nurture a public interested in the arts, so he created the festival of Rachana in 1960, mixing theatre, music, poetry with sculpture and painting, in the hope of motivating people to interact with different kinds of cultural activities. He invited famous figures like César, Jack Lang, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Hasan Fathi and Adonis just to name a few. He fought fiercely to disseminate sculptures in public spaces, government buildings, municipal gardens... He spared no efforts to export his art to the world, multiplying trips to the USA, Japan, France and elsewhere. He experimented in different genres, styles, sizes, media from the classical marble, stone, wood, bronze, alloys to the more experimental fibre glass, resin, cement. He also believed that the world will discover him one day as a gifted painter as he was known as a talented sculptor. He was a charismatic man, larger than life. Michel Basbous, pioneer of modern sculpture, especially monumental in his country and the Arab world. His artworks are found at Oxford Museum in London, British Museum London, UENO Museum in Japan, the Modern Art Museum in France as well as in many other public places in Lebanon and abroad.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.

Lot 22
Anachar Basbous (Lebanon, born 1969)TOTEM corten steel, uniqueexecuted in 2022250 x 50 x 50cm Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a private collection, ParisAcquired directly from the Artist by the aboveAnachar Basbous was born in Rachana (Lebanon) in 1969. His first name is also the anagram of this city. From birth, he was immersed in art. His mother, Thérèse Aouad Basbous, was a poet and novelist; his father, the sculptor Michel Basbous, is one of the major Lebanese artists of the 20th century. His childhood, in the artists' house founded by his parents, was marked by creation, the aesthetic importance given to forms. Precocious, he made his first sculpture at the age of ten. Two years later, the disappearance of his father left him with a deep wound. Perhaps this is why he chose, after his schooling, to study, not sculpture, but architecture at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts. Then he followed, in Paris, the courses of the National School of Arts and Crafts, in another specialty: architectural mosaic. Returning to Lebanon in 1992, he produced many wall decorations. However, he quickly decided to devote himself exclusively to sculpture. Stone, wood, bronze, steel would constitute his universe.If he himself admits to having been influenced in his career by his parents, it is just as much in his father's library that he draws the resources to educate his eyes. If Giacometti and Henry Moore fed him, like Michel Basbous, with figurative forms, no doubt he was also interested in Brancusi, Jean Arp or Max Bill. It is difficult, in the art world, to make a name for yourself; it is even more so, in the case of a dynasty of creators, to make a first name. Anachar Basbous succeeded in doing so, by not seeking to extend or imitate the paternal plastic, but by creating his own aesthetic. His sculptures, sometimes of monumental dimensions, favour refined forms whose complexity appears in the associations he chooses; they sometimes suggest a precarious balance and are imbued with spirituality. Their inscription in space strikes the viewer whose eye must tame before the curves, the edges, a whole geometry offered to the light, whose beauty and harmony are the culmination.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * W* VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.
