César Gemayel

César Gemayel

César Gemayel (b. Ain al Touffaha near Bikfaya, Lebanon in 1898 died in Beirut, Lebanon in 1958) was a famous Lebanese painter.

Gemayel was taught arts by Khalil Saleeby. He was considered as a leading and pioneering figure alongside painters like Youssef Howayek, Douad Corm, Omar Onsi, Saliba Douaihy, Moustafa Farroukh and a handful of others.

Gemayel was a pre-eminently sensual artist. His themes - the female nude, glowing flowers, landscapes green and red, dances and "dabkés", the occasional epic evocation - are the product of his thirst for living expressed through painting.

In 1943, Gemayel and Alexis Boutros founded the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (French: L'Académie libanaise des Beaux-Arts) also known as ALBA.

The artist is portrayed on a Lebanese airmail stamp issued in 1974 in recognition of his work.
