| Although Bel-Jon's father was not inclined to encourage his son's pursuit of art, his superiors recognized his potential and chose to explore them. Bel-Jon was given a three year leave of absence and scholarship from the Government of Greece to continue his studies in Paris. He simultaneously studied at two of the most illustrious art schools in the world. At the Ecole du Louvre he studied aesthetics, painting and the history of art from the Middle Ages to modern time. He also studied painting at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Prewar Paris was an exciting place to be, but Bel-Jon's studies were interrupted with the outbreak of WWII and he returned to Greece. |
