Marcel Lempereur-Haut

He took drawing lessons at the Liège Academy of Fine Arts where he obtained a diploma in surveying and, after World War I he worked as a technical draughtsman.

[1] He started his artistic career by producing book illustrations and prints, mostly inspired by cubism.

He lived in Paris from 1945 to 1958, and participated in the exhibitions of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles.

[3] At this stage, his work mainly comprised combinations of circles, spirals and stars.

Lempereur-Haut continued to paint into at least his late seventies, limiting himself to crayons on cardboard after a cataract operation in 1976 restricted his vision.
