Jeanne Tripier (1869–1944) was a French medium [1] who produced works of text, drawing and embroidery under Spiritualist influence. She is considered part of the Art Brut canon. [2]
Life
Jeanne Tripier was born in 1869 in Paris. [3] Daughter of a wine merchant, she spent her childhood in the country with her grandmother. [4] As an adult she lived in the Montmartre district of Paris, working as a salesgirl at a department store. At 58 she developed a passion for Spiritualist doctrines and divination. These activities became central to her existence, so much so that she eventually stopped going to work. In 1934 she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Paris. [5]
Work
Jeanne Tripier began creating works which blended image and text when she was in her 50s. Tripier's work emerged during trance states [6] and utilized materials such as sugar and hair dye. [7] She also produced figurative embroidery pieces. She ascribed responsibility for her output of texts, drawings, and embroideries to spiritual entities. [8]
Collections and exhibits
Jeanne Tripier's work is primarily held in the Collection de l'Art Brut museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. [3] Her works have been lent to other institutions for exhibitions, including the 2015 exhibit Art Brut in America: The Incursion of Jean Dubuffet at the American Folk Art Museum. [9]
Recognition
Jean Dubuffet acquired Tripier's work for his Collection de l'Art Brut. [5]
