Item Overview

Description

Ahmed Benyahia (b. 1943) Algerian artist. He is a notable alumnus of the prestigious Ecole nationale sup_rieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris, where as a student in the late 1960s he played an instrumental role in successfully bringing French sculptor C_sar Baldaccini as a Professor there, and of whom he was to become a distinguished disciple and protege. He was a co-designer of his eponymous Cesar Award trophy, French cinema equivalent of the American Oscar. After moving to Paris, his artistic talent would not go unnoticed by French sculptor Cesar, who joined the faculty of the prestigious Ecole after a group of students headed by Ahmed urged him to become their Professor. The Board members of the Ecole nationale initially refused to grant a professorship to Cesar, but were subsequently forced to reconsider their stance due to the students pressure. Signed In drawing, portrait of the French collector Henri Corbiere. Approx. 12.5 x 9.5 in. He makes on small sketch on the back side.
