Claire Jeanne Roberte COLINET (1885-1972) A Fly Oval white plaster medallion in bas-relief, titled and signed. 26 x 41 cm (Cleaning and restoration) Provenance: Artist's studio, by descent. Daughter of the sculptor Colinet, who helped decorate the façade of the Crédit Lyonnais building on Boulevard des Italiens in Paris, Claire Jeanne Roberte COLINET was one of a number of women artists, most notably a sculptor, who became independent and highly renowned between the beginning of the 20th century and the 1950s. Born in Belgium, where she studied with Jef Lambeaux, Claire Colinet soon moved to France, where she married Consul Georges Godchaux. Particularly productive, she exhibited on numerous occasions and took part in probably every Salon des Artistes Français and Salon des Artistes Indépendants between 1910 and 1930. She was elected a permanent member in 1929. The various foreign medals mentioned in her private correspondence reveal the success and reputation Claire Colinet acquired internationally. Her work is a perfect example of the evolution of taste from Art Nouveau to the rationalization of Art Deco forms, while retaining the themes of dance and orientalism. Portraiture and the female body are a constant theme in his work. The monumental Vénus moderne presented at the 1921 Salon is featured in the lobby of the Folies Bergères, after Mistinguett (1911) and just before Josephine Baker (1926). Living in Asnières from 1913 until her death in 1972, she left an important mark on the artistic history of the town, which commissioned a number of sculptures from her, including the Allegory of Music (1935), placed on the pediment of the administrative and social center, and a bronze copy of Danse rythmique (Salon 1924), cast during the Second World War. Quickly remarried after her divorce in 1920 to André NIGRON, an engineer, she passed on her mastery of sculpture to her daughter Michèle, who pursued a career as a model and worked in her mother's studio to produce two important portraits of Gary Cooper and Gérard Philipe, which we are also fortunate enough to present.
