Item description from seller

In-4° broché. Bel envoi de l'artiste à Madeleine et Jacques Matarasso.Marie-Elisabeth Collet a fait ses études artistiques à l'Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs à Nice, pendant que les protagonistes de Supports-Surfaces commençaient à se révéler. Puis, elle « monte » à Paris à l'Institut des Carrières Artistiques (1965-1967). Un stage à la Fondation Maeght à Saint Paul de Vence - très important à l'époque- lui permait d'appréhender le monde de l'art du XXème siècle dans ses différentes dimensions (1966). Elle prend alors un premier atelier à Nice.Une approche personnelle de portraits expressionnistes sera sa production de jeunesse ; en émerge des regards de personnes angoissées. Elle part pour Lyon, où elle devient dessinatrice et styliste dans des cabinets de dessins en "soieries", activité qu'elle maintiendra à différents postes pendant dix ans. Elle s'installe à Avignon (1979) où sur le plan artistique elle commence son travail sur les écorces.1981 marque pour elle « une rupture », avec la perte d'un être cher. Dans le même temps, l'arrière-pays du Comtat avec ses terres, le vent, la nature proche introduisent un nouveau climat dans son être.Provenance. Estate of Jacques and Madeleine Matarasso, Nice, France.The story of the Matarasso family, booksellers, gallery owners and publishers of illustrated books and prints, spans three generations of enthusiasts. The Matarassos played a leading role in the intellectual and cultural life of Paris and then Nice. "They devoted their lives to promoting the works on paper of artists and writers," recalls Laure Matarasso, who took up the torch, first with her father in 1993, then alone after his death in 2015.1911 - Henri Matarasso leaves Salonika (now Thessalonika) for France;1916 - Birth of Jacques Matarasso, Henri's son, in Barcelona;1933- Opening of Matarasso bookshop, 72, rue de Seine, Paris;1941- Jacques moves to Nice; After initially setting up shop on rue Alberti in 1941, followed by a second on rue de Russie after the Liberation, Jacques Matarasso settled permanently at 2 rue Longchamp on July 1, 1950;1993- Laure Matarasso, Jacques and Madeleine's daughter, continues the adventure by taking over the gallery in Nice;2016- The bookstore-gallery moved from Rue Longchamp and, after a year of searching, opened at 46 Boulevard Risso, near Mamac and the Nucéra library, between Place Garibaldi and Acropolis in Nice.…
