Fecamp – The Artists – Cyr, Georges Albert
Georges Albert Cyr (1880 – 1964) is a Lebanese painter of French origin. In 1934, following a personal tragedy, he decided to leave France and tour the Middle East and the Far East. Having spent a few weeks in Beirut, he fell in love with the city.
He spent 27 years living in Lebanon. Cyr was not only a painter. He also worked with mosaics, ceramics, and stained glass. He taught painting and history of art, wrote numerous essays and lectured on the subject.
Many see him as the true pioneer of modern art in Lebanon.
Here is the 1 painting of his we found which we made in Fecamp, Normandy.
