Lucien Moretti is a French artist, known for Portrait and genre painting. Moretti received his formal art training at the Beaux Arts School and went on to achieve great success with his works. The art of Lucien Moretti combines the keen observations of a dedicated people watcher and the talents of a gifted draftsman. Moretti is never without his drawing pad, always capturing interesting characters and faces. His sensitivity to the complexities of the human being enables him to capture a variety of emotions. As a result, his oils and lithographs are populated with a concentration of activity and people, some intense and lively while others are melancholy or wistfully gazing into space causing the viewer to feel and experience similar emotions.
