Cecilia LYON

Belgian-born Cecilia Lyon graduated from the University of Brussels. After moving to Manchester in 2002, she discovered the paintings of Adolphe Valette, and developed a passion for his work. She published two biographies on the artist, one in English, one in French. Cecilia has curated exhibitions on Valette in France and in England. It is while she was curating her blockbusting exhibition of 2011-12 at The Lowry in Salford, 'Adolphe Valette, a Pioneer of Impressionism in Manchester', that the idea of writing an in-depth study of the artistic relationship between Valette and Lowry crystallised. She is thrilled to share her findings with the readers of Amazon.
