Boumeester

Features Boumeester

360 ° interactive tour of the exhibition dedicated to Christine Boumeester which was presented at the Malmaison in 2021.
The Cannes town hall pays tribute to an artist whose life and work resemble the novel.
Wife of the famous painter Henri Goetz, she appeared in a group gathered around the personality of the painter Pierre Soulages.
The latter wrote about her after her death: "What I want to remember about her escapes words, but, I find her easily in the most obscure, the most silent of the beautiful abandoned garden.
The artists present were: Zao Wou-Ki, Vieira da Silva, Hans Hartung, etc.
With her husband, she lived on the French Riviera, and it was in Cannes that they found refuge during World War II.
Numa Hambursin is in charge of the police station with Hanna Baudet and declares: "The breathless life of Christine Boumeester is punctuated by exiles, retreats and wanderings, tinged with this Orient which saw her birth when Europe occupied the world, engraved with adventures dictated by great history and the encounter of now legendary and sacred monsters.
»Works from public or private collections.
Our compliments to the mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard.
