Notes:
Born in the United States in 1894, Thérèse Bonney moved to Paris in 1919, where she moved at the heart of the intellectual and artistic circles of the inter-war period. As a photographer, journalist and press correspondent, she frequented the cosmopolitan circles of the capital and developed an activity closely linked to the world of the arts, theatre and fashion. Close to many cultural figures, she produced portraits of artists, writers and musicians, while documenting Parisian life with a modern, sensitive eye. Her studio became a meeting place for international avant-garde figures, contributing to the influence of artistic Paris in the 1920s and 1930s. Although today Thérèse Bonney is best known for her photographic reports during the Second World War, her career remains deeply rooted in the cultural effervescence of modern Paris, which she witnessed, acted in and modelled. Around 1933, Georges Rouault produced a series of portraits of her.
