The Artist

Privat-Livemont was born in Schaerbeek in Belgium and studied at the Academy of Saint-Josse. After studies, he spent several years in Paris, decorating the Town Hall. While he was in the capital of France, he worked at the studios of Lemaire, Lavastre & Duvignaud, and was a part of the team that designed the décor for the Hotel de Ville and Theater Francais. His interest in décor was great, and he continued to work on it after returning to Belgium.

The less-known facts about him tell the story of a very diverse artist, who, other than creating posters and designing the décor, also worked as a painter and a photographer. In fact, his understanding of photography served as a basis for the genesis of feminine beauty in Art Nouveau and inspired many, including the great Helmut Newton. Privat-Livemont also mastered the technique of sgraffito, decorating facades and many local schools in Brussels.
