Belgian painter Guy Cambier became fascinated with Rembrandt after seeing a retrospective of his work at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. It was at the age of nineteen that he gave his first exhibition at L'Art belge, a presentation which brought his work to the attention of the public. In 1950, the painter left his native Belgium to settle on the Côte d'Azur. It was a time of recognition. Cambier collected a string of awards, including the Prix de la Jeune Peinture Méditerranéenne in Nice (1956) and participation in the Biennale de Menton (1958). He had regular exhibitions in Nice, Cannes, Paris, Lyon, Geneva and Zurich. Acquisitions by the French government and several American collections in New York and San Francisco. He painted portraits of Gérard Philipe, Princess Grace of Monaco, Winston Churchill, Ingrid Bergman and his friend Stéphane Grappelli. Although he admired the painters of the École du Nord, there was no question of him following in their footsteps as a copyist. Cambier's paintings are luminous and expressive, with a certain pictorial materiality.
