Bonnet Célou (French 20th century) “Prix de Diane” bronze on wood base 1986 artist proof, edition of 7, signed
Artist biography:
Célou, a native of Carpentras, France, grew up in the company of animals, nature, and her loving parents, sisters
and brothers. Her love for horses started with her first love, Gitan, and Arabian horse that she rode through the hills and valleys of the countryside. In 1981, Célou moved to California, where she found the scent and the warmth of Provence, and was born again. She continued riding her beautiful horses, and it was though this that she realized her dream—to create sculptures in bronze. In 1999, she was honored with the distinction of being the first artist elected “Artist of the Year” by the Fallbrook Art Association.
