Visual Artist
1898 – 1958
Who was César Gemayel?
César Gemayel 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 also known as ALBA.
The artist is portrayed on a Lebanese airmail stamp issued in 1974 in recognition of his work.
