Dimensions of the canvas 38x55 cm Total dimensions, with frame, 42x59 cm Javotte Martin (1937-2001) was born in Bouillon (Belgium). Of Belgian nationality, his father was an architect and author of important works on language and phonetics. His mother (of French nationality) was a violinist. Strengthened by this heredity, Javotte Martin devoted her life to creation, and mainly to music (she sang, played the piano and even recorded records), to painting (Javotte was an abstract painter close to Zao Wou Ki) and to poetry. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1988, she fought the disease for ten years before succumbing on July 25, 2001. Javotte Martin had all the talents, including beauty. She leaves behind a polymorphous, dense and totally unknown work. At Javotte Martin, everything burns, everything crackles, sun bursts under the tongue, everything breathes, with a lot of words of throat, words of topaz wind, words of red and black paths and words of the high seas.
