Alfred Lesbros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Lesbros (b. 1873 - d. 1940) is a French artist born in Montfavet, France near Avignon. He painted approximately a thousand works now belonging to museums and public collections in Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Avignon, Marseille, Montpellier and Tournon. Some of his works have gained interest and local fame: "La cour de la livrée de Thury", "Le jardin", "Footing" (Calvet museum, Avignon). From impressionism to cubism, Alfred Lesbros took part in the artistic revolutions of the early twentieth century, at least from a specific and "provincial" (non Parisian) point of view.
