"The four Seasons". Four pencil and pastel drawings on paper. Signed and dated (1911) in the lower right (three works) and left (one work) corners.
Émile Fabry is an important Belgian symbolist painter trained in the workshop of Jean-François Portaels. His work is influenced by Michelangelo, Dominique Ingres and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. It had a style reminiscent of Mannerism, with deformed figures with a melancholic appearance, reminiscent of the dramatic work of Maurice Maeterlinck, whose influence Fabry recognized along with that of Richard Wagner and Edgar Allan Poe. In 1892 he founded with Jean Delville and Xavier Mellery the Cercle pour l''Art. He exhibited at the Salon de la Rose Croix in 1893 and 1895. In 1900 he was appointed professor at the Brussels Academy. From that year on he devoted himself especially to the production of frescoes for public buildings (Théâtre de la Monnaie, town halls of Saint-Gilles, Laeken and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre).
During the First World War he lived as a refugee in the United Kingdom, where he received the Pre-Raphaelite influence. 33x42cm
