Noticed by Degas, she participated as early as 1879 in the Salon des Indépendants. Her work was coherent and subtle in the infinite variation of shapes and means around a theme that was voluntarily limited. It confirmed the demand of the impressionists for whom freedom and originality of perception constituted the only real common ground.
The exhibition is now over.
