Amable Benoist - Art Lexicon

Lexicon of foreign painters in Macedonia between 1850-1950

Benoist Amable, (XIX-XX), French

Very little information can be found about this painting, who lived and worked in Toulouse, France in the period 1900-1940 and who was in the Macedonian front around 1917, where he created a set of watercolors of Kavadarci, Krivolak, Vardar Valley, Thessaloniki and the Greek Macedonian villages. The whole set of watercolors was unfortunately scattered through individual sales via Ebay in the period 2016/2018

About Me

This lexicon is a result of my 15 years long period of researching & documenting the personalities and the artworks of the foreign painters, sculptors, illustrators, and photographers having visited different spots of the geographic territory of Macedonia, there having created works of art there over a 100-years long period i.e. between 1850-1950. Their presence and artwork in the Macedonian milieus represent a notable cultural heritage to the international linkage of the ethnic Macedonians as well as to all the ethnicities living in the picturesque territory of Macedonia and the cultures of modern-day countries spread over parts of the geographic territory of Macedonia. Witnessing the artistic contributions of the foreign artist, we are proud of their Macedonia-themed creative works and experiences. I believe that their artworks, having been inspired and created over the vast region of Macedonia, unite us all in these challenging times, and under the facts and the values of the artistic beauty.
