ALPHONSE BIRCK, 1859 - 1942, WATERCOLOUR
Bedouin in a Desert Landscape, signed lower right, framed.
N.B. Alphonse Birck was born in 1859 in Metz. At the age of 16, he moved to Paris where he joined the School of Decorative Arts before continuing his education in free academies. Birck began to show his works very early, he exhibited publicly for the first time in Parisian Salons at the age of 28. Attracted by Algeria like many artists who follow the orientalist movement, he decided to go into exile there with his family during the Annexation of Metz in 1906. From then on, the life of Alphonse Birck will be shared between Algiers and Fontainebleau
