Important bibliography. Marie Howet, great lady of painting, instinctive artist, having pushed to the extreme the power of suggestion of one of her preserves: watercolour. Marie Howet had known, very young, the nascent Fauvism. With a classical education, she had rubbed shoulders in Paris between 1925 and 1927 with these protesting heirs to Impressionism. She will keep a very personal way of modulating her palette, passing with delight from the luminous decorations of the Greek islands to the delicately colored mists of Ireland, her favorite lands in the same way as the meanders of the Semois, which she contemplated from the top of its perch at Rochehaut. Artist listed in Bénézit, Arto and Piron. Listed Artprice, Artnet, Mayer, Akoun, etc...
