Description
Valentine REYRE (1889–1943). Young girls working and reading. 1916. Oil on panel, countersigned on the reverse and numbered ‘249P’. Titled and dated on a label on the back. Height: 27 cm; Width: 35 cm. Born in Paris in 1889, Valentine Reyre trained under Georges Desvallières (1861–1950), amongst others, and was part of Maurice Denis’s (1870–1943) circle. 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 sincerity of materials and the medieval corporative spirit. She continued her commitment by subsequently participating in the Ateliers d’Art Sacré, founded in 1919.
