Henrietta Deloras (1901-1941). Sewing. Oil On Board Signed Lower Left.
Henriette DELORAS (1901-1941)
La Couture
Oil on cardboard, signed lower left
H. 32 cm - W. 23.5 cm
Originally from Grenoble, muse and second wife of Jules Flandrin, Henriette Deloras regularly stayed in Paris from 1920s. Preferring pastel, the artist sketches the cafés of Montparnasse, the jazz clubs, the dancers of the Moulin Rouge and the effervescence of artistic life. Exhibited at Bernheim, she emancipated herself in the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, favoring the representation of a liberated woman.
In 1928 she exhibited compositions at the Salon d'Automne, earning her the praise of an admiring Pierre Bonnard: “That's painting! ". If the pastel work of Henriette Deloras is well known, and was the subject of a beautiful retrospective at the Museum of Grenoble in 2008, her oils are rare and of a remarkable technique. Serif and flat areas of color punctuate the composition with a gentle tension, in which the solid temperament of the female painter is expressed. With a subtle sensitivity, the work is all the more precious since the artist died in 1941, at the age of 39.
