Description
Valentine REYRE (1889–1943). Portrait of Marie Clément. 1927. Oil on panel, signed on the reverse and numbered ‘514P’. Titled and dated on a label on the reverse. Height: 35.5 cm; Width: 26.5 cm. Born in Paris in 1889, Valentine Reyre trained notably under Georges Desvallières (1861–1950) and was part of the circle of Maurice Denis (1870–1943). In 1916, deeply affected by the tragedies of the First World War, she co-founded the L’Arche group alongside the architect Maurice Storez (1875–1959) and the sculptor Henri Charlier (1883–1975). This collective of artists and craftspeople campaigned for a revival of Christian art by advocating a return to the authenticity of materials and the medieval spirit of craftsmanship. She continued her commitment by subsequently joining the Ateliers d’Art Sacré, established in 1919.
