Born | Colette Richarme 24 January 1904 |
Died | 27 February 1991 | (aged 87)
Nationality | French |
Alma mater | Académie de la Grande Chaumière |
Known for | Paintings and drawings |
Movement | Expressionism between figuration and abstraction |
Colette Richarme (born 24 January 1904 in Canton (Guangzhou), China, died in Montpellier, 27 February 1991) was a French painter. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Richarme spent her childhood in China. Her mother, familiar with art, taught her to observe her surroundings and to draw from an early age. The sudden death of her father, a silk trader for a British firm, forced mother and daughter to return to France just before the First World War. They lived in Lyon and Albertville, where Richarme married in 1926. The couple's move to Paris in 1935 provided access to the workshops of the Académie de la Grande Chaumière [5] where Richarme was a classmate of Louise Bourgeois. But it was in Montpellier that she really began her career as an artist, presenting her first solo exhibition in 1941. After the war, she maintained regular contact with Paris (exhibitions, annual salons) while actively participating in regional artistic life. Until the end of her life she continued her research in her Languedoc studio.
