Collection: Jean Carzou

Jean Carzou (born Karnik Zouloumian, January 1, 1907 – August 12, 2000) was an internationally renowned French-Armenian artist

whose works adorned Paris opera houses, illustrated novels by Hemingway and Camus, and captured the spiritual power of saints and

war alike. Born in Syria to an Armenian family and raised in Egypt, he moved to Paris at 17 to study art and architecture. Known for

his haunting, dreamlike line work and mastery across mediums, Carzou’s creations reflected both his Armenian heritage and his deep

response to the tragedies of war. A member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and recipient of numerous international awards, his

Chapel of Saint Joan in Manosque stands as his lasting masterpiece.
