ALIX AYMÉ (1894-1989)
Jeune fille pensive devant un bouquet de roses Gilded lacquer panel, signed lower right 17 7/8 x 24 1/8 in. ALIX AYMÉ Alix Aymé was born in 1894 in Marseille. She was a pupil of George Desvallières and then Maurice Denis, with whom she maintained a close correspondence throughout her career. The artist developed a passion for the Asian continent during a first trip where she accom - panied her husband, a professor, who was sent to China by the French government. She travelled through Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam for more than twenty years. Appointed professor at the Hanoi School of Fine Arts, she contributes with Joseph Inguimberty to the return of lacquer. Her works can be seen as a meeting point between the style of the Nabis and traditional Vietnamese painting. Traditional Indochinese subjects blend with Western modernity to create a symbiosis that is as perfect as it is sublime. She depicted subjects that touched the intimacy of her models (interior scenes, maternity wards, children at their games...)
