painter and a writer, Lucien Bieler rarely exhibited his work. He was thus known only in a very limited circle. Today, more than ten years after his death, we want to pay tribute to his impressive work and present a part of his important pictorial production as well as some of his writings.
Pour ce qui est de sa production picturale, Lucien Bieler prend place dans la lignée des grands artistes du 20e siècle, dont il était admiratif : Degas, Monet, Manet, Daumier, Renoir, Valadon, Cézanne, Matisse, Bonnard, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Pissaro, Modigliani, Picasso ou encore Toulouse-Lautrec. Il admirait tout particulièrement la modeste signature de ce dernier, dont il s'est inspiré pour la sienne, qu'il a tardivement accepté d'apposer sur ses œuvres, répondant ainsi aux sollicitations de son épouse. Pour lui, une œuvre devait se suffire à elle-même, quel qu'en fût l'auteur !
Regarding his pictorial production, Lucien Bieler was influenced by many great artists of the 20th century like Degas, Monet, Manet, Daumier, Renoir, Valadon, Cézanne, Matisse, Bonnard, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Pissaro, Modigliani, Picasso or Toulouse-Lautrec. He admired Toulouse-Lautrec's work but also his modest signature, from which he drew inspiration for his own. It is only after many years of painting that Lucien Bieler eventually accepted to sign his work, mainly because his wife insisted upon it. For him, a work of art had to be selfsufficient, regardless of its creator
