Roger Bezombes studied in Paris, at the École des Beaux-Arts. He worked in a variety of mediums and techniques, including sculpture, lithography, and medals, but was primarily a painter. Counting Henri Matisse and his friend, Maurice Denis, among his greatest influences, Bezombes' paintings are lyrical and riotous explosions of color.
