EXCEPTIONAL WORK BY THE ARTIST. 130X98CM. A STRONG DECORATIVE POWER FOR THESE PALMS IN CAP MARTIN!!.....
In 1950, she moved to Paris to join the School of Fine Arts alongside Jean Souverbie. After her years of training, she worked successively in the workshops of Fernand Leger, André Lhote and at the Jullian Academy. Expressionist painter, she will retain from her masters the use of color (a palette that she will deepen by working regularly in the South) but will detach herself from the cubist model for softer contours and a suave rendering, closer to the works of Matisse ( our painting). Her paintings most often depict nudes and still lifes. The most influential art critics support her work and she has been selected several times for the Othon Friesz Prize.
Her first major personal exhibition took place in a large gallery in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, in Paris, in 1960. In 1966, she executed the painting that would make her famous throughout the world: the portrait of Coco Chanel.
It was the start of a great career which then saw her exhibit in Cannes, Reims, Deauville, Monaco, Nice… and even Tokyo. In the 1970s she exhibited regularly and with great success in England, Switzerland and Germany.
