Portraits

Jean-Paul Belmondo

A face made for the cinema: white hair, a fur collar, and that look.

The skin is weathered and deeply lined, the blue eyes have lost nothing. Novoro paints him close up and thickly, on a dark ground, one stroke to a wrinkle. This is the late Belmondo, the star of Breathless grown into a national monument, with the old insolence still at the corner of the mouth.

About the series

The portrait is painted in oil, in successive layers, without copying a photograph: likeness emerges from accumulated matter and the harmony of colours. Commissioned portraits are made in the studio from references supplied by the sitter.
