Biography
[edit | edit source]Neujean was born in Antwerp, 5 January 1923. During the years 1939 to 1941, he was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Among his better known busts are those of Tintin (1954) for the Belgian Comic Strip Center in Brussels,[4] Hergé (1958),[5] and Robert Schumann (1987), a bronze bust in the Parc du Cinquantenaire of Brussels. He is also noted for his life-sized nude, La Belle Toscane.[6] Another of his sculptures, a figurative bronze titled Lot's Wife (1968),[7] is in the US at the Valley House Gallery and Sculpture Garden of Dallas, Texas.[8] His mounted bronze of Henry Moore is part of the Collection of Charles Rand Penney,[9] while Tendresse, a bronze, is part of the collection at McNay Art Museum.[10] His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1964,[11] and Rolly-Michaux on Madison Avenue in New York City in 1974.[12]
Facing discrimination as a Jew during World War II, he later did much towards Jewish heritage in Belgium; in January 1963 for instance he produced a number of different models related to the Holocaust at the Palais des Beaux-Arts of Brussels.[13]
