Marcel MARCEAU FUN TABLE "FIVE MEN IN THE GREAT HATS" by Marcel MARCEAU (1923-2007) Pastel and chalk on canson paper signed lower left 60 x 50 cm Marcel Marceau, known as the mime Marceau, the stage name of Marcel Mangel, is a French mime and actor, born on 22 March 1923 in Strasbourg and died on 22 September 2007 in Cahors. He became an international celebrity with his silent character Bip, created in 1947. After attending the National School of Decorative Arts in Limoges, which left him with a taste for drawing and painting, Marcel Marceau became a pupil of Charles Dullin, Jean-Louis Barrault and Etienne Decroux, who established the "grammar" of the art of mime, which he called "mobile statuary". An exhibition was devoted to his activity as a painter in October 2003 in Strasbourg, on the occasion of his 80th birthday. His collection was dispersed on Tuesday 26 May 2009 at the Hotel Drouot in Paris.
