Cycling / Merckx / Coulon. And here, we discover an astonishing Brussels artist: Berthe Coulon (1897-1979). Lithograph "Merckx..." By Berthe Coulon, signature. Numbered 151/175. 70x50. This curious Eddy Merckx from 1970 stands not before posterity, but before a crowd, which could resemble piano keys. Berthe Coulon was indeed a pianist of great talent, but she was so afraid of the public, of crowds, that she never performed in concert. But in her seventies, she magically and curiously overcame her stage fright by taking up painting as a self-taught artist... just as her neighbor Eddy Merckx was blossoming, triumphing everywhere and unleashing the crowds. Over a period of twelve years, she created 350 paintings and lithographs, all with a common denominator: crowds and the public. This meeting between one who is at ease outside in the crowd, and the other who only breathes well in his studio, gives us this astonishing creation, the Merckx miracle.
