About Guillaume Azoulay:One of Guillaume Azoulay's most notable accomplishments is that he is the youngest artist to be accepted in the permanent archives of the Musee du Louvre in Paris, France.In 1978, two of Azoulay's works were accepted into the permanent collection of the Louvre; the museum's chief curator has called him "an artist whose varied works let us predict a very bright future."  Azoulay was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1949. By age thirteen, he was sketching and selling his drawings on the street and at fairs. He has held major exhibits in Rome, Copenhagen, Monte Carlo, Reno, Paris, Tel-Aviv, and many other cities.
His unique, self-taught style conveys strong illusions of fluid motion. His subjects appear to be caught in a vital moment of life. He does not use models, preferring to rely on his imagination. His works are found in the collections of such world leaders as Ronald Reagan, Francois Mitterand, Anwar Sadat, King Hassan II, Prince Rainier, and Prince Karim Aga Khan. Azoulay is also noted for his generosity, and has made countless contributions of art to many worthwhile charitable organizations. He is extremely proud of his Jewish tradition and Sephardic heritage, and has expressed his pride through many of his works of art. He was presented with the Yehuda Halevi Award on February 12, 1986. Azoulay has achieved international recognition as a successful and truly gifted artist.   |
