Artistic Visions of Angkor by Maurice Fievet

Artistic Visions of Angkor by Maurice Fievet by Kent Davis
In the 1950s, French artist Maurice Fievet (actually Fiévet - my apologies for leaving out the accent in the title because it is not search engine friendly) — well-known for his work in Africa with his talented photographer wife, Jeannette — created a series of dramatic paintings depicting life in ancient Cambodia.
Fiévet’s paintings were extraordinary because he worked with two of the world’s foremost Khmer scholars — Bernard Philippe Groslier and George Cœdès — to achieve the highest degree of visual and historical accuracy possible.
