Bernard Cathelin (1919 - 2004)
A litho from the celebrated Frenchman Bernard Cathelin.
It is called "Grand Marche Mexicain" under which title
he made more works e.g. also oil paintings. This is a
rather big work that has been titled and signed.Work on
paper: Dimensions: 56 / 85,5 cm.
Despite the reflections I hope you are able to
see the nice combination of this "Schleiper"
encadreert around this litho.
He simply signed his works with Cathelin
And the numbering of course 99 out of 125.
A little bit more "uncommon" the title written
in pencil as we presume he didn't print his litho's
himself. Quite valuable!
Christiaan de Leener
This work was sold as being a genuine work by Elsa de Boever
however further investigations proved it to be Christian
De Leener. Source: The Paul Piron Signature dictionnary
Elsa was the daughter of Jan Frans de Boever who himself
was a very gifted painter. He accused his daughter of being
his copyist. That's why these two people split.
This work has very little to do with the work of Jan Frans.
For that reason we have doubts that it really is a Elsa de Boever.
It is said that she never produced any art after she split with
her father in 1921. Mixed techniques. Dimensions: 50 - 70 cm.
It actually seems to be written De Boever but it
is "De Leener" Further is presented another
work by the same artist.
On the internet we found a portrait of Romy Schneider in her
last years (made in 1980) but that was a work at the beginning
of the career of Christian De Leener as a painter. He started in 1976.
It is our believe that the later works do have much more quality.
You are able to find some works by this artist on findartinfo.com
but under the name J. De Leener. The signature however is
convincing and besides the allready mentioned portrait of Romy
Schneider, he also made one of Jacques Brel, both made at the
beginning of his career.

Marcel Cockx (1930 - 2007)
Marcel Cockx made this "mix" more than often but always
with children placed in the centre of his works. This is a nice
example as besides his "Smolders" touch the elements that
play a role in a childs life are there with a decorative
elaboration as an extra. Work on canvas. Dimensions:
80 / 80 cm.
This detail gives a better insight in the decorative
figures in this painting. The soft expression in
the childs' face accentuates a kind of innocence.
And of course his signature: Definitely a Marcel Cockx.
Jean Dechene
A rather big watercolor by this Belgium based artist.
Should we see this as a forearm (on the right) holding
a flower or is that just coincidence? Work on paper.
Dimensions: 50 / 66 cm
A close up from this work. Dechene often worked in
these soft, pastel like colors that give his work a kind
of dreamy atmosphere.
He even uses the way water can work on a watercolor
when adapted later which gives this work some "rusty"
elements.
The signature is unreadable but lucky enough his name
was written on the back of the encadrement. The title of
this work is named "Clematite". Clematis in English.
