Marie-Thérèse Bourrat (born in 1938)
Landscape with snowy mountains (Bourdeau, Savoie), 1973
Oil on canvas
Signed “Bourrat” and dated “1973” lower center
65 x 80 cm
Self-taught, Marie-Thérèse Bourrat exhibited for the first times at the age of seventeen. She notably received the advice of the painter Jean Couty as well as the support of the Lyonnais art critic René Déroudille from the end of the 1950s. Marie-Thérèse Bourrat probes the soul of the inanimate objects that populate her intimate sphere until the haunt. Through singular framings, the artist paints loneliness, revealing a universe behind closed doors concentrating the emotions of a lifetime. His hypersensitivity shines through in his painting, which denounces the cracks in existence. His art maintains a close dependence on his life course and this since his most distant childhood memories, offering a raw and moving testimony of his torments and obsessions. The work we are offering is a rare landscape of Bourdeau in Savoie, where the family home is located, which marks out the artist's itinerary. The snow-capped mountains are represented there in a naive style.
