, see photo Student at the Collège de Sousse, Georges Massa tried his hand at the genre of landscape at a very young age but never fully devoted himself to his art. Indeed, it was alongside his career in the postal administration and his commitment to serving youth hostels and trips for young people that he devoted himself to painting. Self-taught, he met Robert Caulet, a drawing teacher in Sousse, who, however, encouraged and advised him. In 1937, he decorated a village hall there and collaborated with Robert Caulet on various projects. In 1939, he was responsible for the decor of the Lille Youth Hostel and was entrusted with posters. Between 1945 and 1954, he was in contact with the most renowned painters in Tunisia (Moses Lévy, Jules Lellouche, Robert Hue, Abdelaziz Gorgi, etc.) while his functions at the Postal Administration involved frequent travel. These allowed him to paint on the motif of Djerba, Gabès, Monastir, El Jem, Mahdia and Tabarka. Georges Massa exhibited from 1949 to 1953 at the Tunisian Salon. In 1953, the Tunisian Government acquired the “Rue à Barcelona” which it exhibited at the Tunisian Salon that same year. He also participated in the Salon Arte de Tunis, founded in 1954 by artists from the postal administration, as well as in the Alliance Française of the same city. Installed in France, he kept returning to Tunisia and painting there. From 1956 to 2000, Georges Massa participated in numerous group exhibitions and had several personal exhibitions. In 1994, he presented 54 works on Tunisia to the Marseille Chamber of Commerce as part of the “Tunisie, la Verte” day. On this occasion, the president of the event, Lotfi Hamdi, wrote to him: “Your presence at the cultural day of ‘Tunisia, the Green’ confirms your love for Tunisia, your always country […]”. A prolific artist, he composed no less than 7,000 watercolors and 300 drawings. Georges Massa traveled and painted in many countries (Spain, Israel, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Egypt). Finally, he exhibited in London, Rome and Luxembourg. Type:Watercolor Style:1980 Characteristics:On Paper Theme:Landscape
