The son of a Dutchman and the Belgian, Georges de feure was born in Paris and was a true Parisian spirit. A connoisseur of feminine beauty, as a priest, worshipping a single deity, Georges de fer sang in his art, Woman, embodying it in a graceful and subtle forms of Art Nouveau (modernism). Speaking on a spiritual successor to Beardsley, the artist creates elegant way Parisian women, women around 1900, provocative, seductive and painfully-the vicious ("Seeker of Infinity", CA. 1897).

Fer uses only the most expensive and valuable materials: onyx, silver-plated tree, merging into the harmony of pale gray colors.

In addition to painting and design, the artist is also successful in other areas of the arts: practicing weaving, creates thumbnails for carpets, doing illustrations in his beloved watercolors, in particular, to the "Gate of dreams" by M. Swaba.
