Few Words about Lilianne Morgen

Lilianne Morgen, Born in Paris, growing up in Australia and living for extended periods in Israel, and now, the United States, Lilianne’s life revolves around art - creating art, looking at art and writing about art. She exhibits her works extensively in regional and international galleries and museums, and her work can be found in both private and institutional collections.

Her diverse cultural background has been influential in shaping a multidisciplinary approach towards her art. It would not be proper to categorize her work according to a specific genre, style, medium, or even theme. She believes that combining different art forms allows for the creation of a more complex visual language & the chosen subject matter intrinsically demands its own form of artistic expression in her art.

Though her body of work is eclectic, it is defined by a conscious balance between the conceptual and the aesthetic. Her work appeals to collectors and art lovers who not only enjoy living with art that upholds standards of beauty and skill, but who also enjoy the intellectual aspect and wit She brings to her art. She is the author of a very interesting & exalted book L’Origine, which is a fascinating novel that traces the true story of Gustave Courbet’s most fascinating yet controversial painting “L’Origine du monde” (“The Origin of the World”), painted in 1866. The novel traces the true story of the painting’s remarkable journey through the centuries and the colorful cast of characters whose paths it crossed. It is an unlikely tale of survival, replete with French revolutionaries, Turkish pashas and nefarious Nazi captains. It is a superbly researched work of historical fiction that is more than a riveting romp through history—it is also an examination of society’s complex relationship with the female body. It has been widely acclaimed by connoisseurs as well as the discerning readers. It has been translated into many languages including Spanish & French.
