Description
PAUL BELMONDO (1898, Mustapha near Algiers – 1982, Ivry-sur-Seine) Set of 2 medals Paul Belmondo was a leading French sculptor and medallist of the 20th century, whose work follows the neoclassical tradition. He is also a well-known figure in the family: he was the father of the actor Jean-Paul Belmondo and the producer Alain Belmondo. Born in French Algeria, in Mustapha (a suburb of Algiers), into a modest family of Italian origin, he spent his entire youth there and began sculpting at the age of 13, before studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Algiers under Georges Béguet. He was awarded the Grand Prix artistique de l’Algérie in 1932, and never forgot his native country: in particular, he created the high reliefs for the Foyer Civique in Algiers and sat on the selection panel for grants at the Villa Abd-el-Tif (an artists’ residence in Algiers). The National Museum of Fine Arts in Algiers also holds a significant collection of his works.
