About the Item
Exquisitely precocious portrait of a little flower girl or "Petite Fille de Journal", paper girl in Paris by Roger Etienne (French, 1923-2011). Signed and dated lower left, "Etienne Paris 1969". Presented in a giltwood frame with non-glare glass. Image 21"H x 16"W, Frame 29.5"H x 24"W x 3"D.
Roger Etienne was born in Brugge, Belgium in 1923. He lived in Los Angeles, Hollywood and Paris, France most of his life. Born in Belgium he came to France as a young man and established his art career there. Appeared in the Flight 951 episode of Climax Mystery Theater on TV.
After World War II he came to Hollywood and pursued his career as both an artist and as a movie actor. He worked for several studios and appeared in many movies on film and TV for several decades. He maintained two homes both in Paris and L.A. where he split his time.
“Journey in Search of an Artist” follows the author, Mary Ruggiero, a hardworking business woman who finds herself while pursuing art and, in so doing, befriends the artist himself: Roger Etienne—a charismatic Belgian who performed bit-parts during Hollywood’s Golden Age of cinema and crossed paths with the greats from Clint Eastwood to Marilyn Monroe.
While in Europe, Etienne took part in the French Resistance during World War II and apprenticed under Pablo Picasso in his youth. Wrought with secrets and insecurities stemming from paternal neglect and intimate betrayals, Etienne was pleased to finally find a true friend in the author who helped him come to terms with his mortality while making amends with his wife. The friendship was healing for both the author and her subject who found purpose in their final years.
As its title suggests, “Journey in Search of an Artist” by Dr. Mary Ruggiero emphasizes the importance of going places in life; taking risks to achieve something worthwhile, and overcoming obstacles in pursuit of fulfillment. This book deals with truth; confronting one’s past mistakes rather than hiding behind a facade of contentment. Instead of suppressing pain experienced from infidelity, disease and abuse, this book urges readers to face their hardship head on in order to truly heal and embark upon a journey of their own.
