Description

Of Bulgarian origin, he settled in Switzerland, then in the United States, and finally in France (1926).
Until 1949, her style remained in the spirit of the Nouvelle École de Paris. Thereafter, she participated in the emergence of post-war French Abstraction. She was close to BAZAINE, BERTHOLLE, LE MOAL and MANESSIER.
From 1970, she developed a tendency towards monochrome. Her palette, previously more complex, evolved towards large, simple chords, no less rich but almost monochrome, balanced on a few modulated tones, most often based on earths, elemental colors that modestly conceal all the light.
Elvire Jan is one of the great painters of the 20th century. Less recognized than her male counterparts, her works can be seen on the walls of major European museums. From the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris to Norway, her style and originality marked her era.
From autumn 2018 to winter 2020, at the Musée Granet in Aix-en-Provence, the Kunstmuseum-Picasso in Münster and La Piscine in Roubaix, the exhibition "Traverser la lumière" (Crossing the Light) will pay tribute to her with works by Jean Bazaine, Roger Bissière, Jean Le Moal, Alfred Manessier and Gustave Singier.
