The podcast âLes grandes dames de lâartâ (âGreat women of artâ) gives a voice to the women artists of the 20th century. They talk about their work, their life, the world around them, and their achievements. Let us go in search of their presence, their secrets. Let us rediscover the hidden stories of women artists through their voices.
For this second season, we open a new chapter that plunges us into the Paris of the inter-war period, the decade that became notoriously known as the Roaring Twenties. What did the wildness of this decade consist of? It is largely due to women who flourished in this welcoming capital, lived their lives as they wanted, and became artists on equal footing with men. They played a primordial role in the construction of modernity, and we are rediscovering them today.
GisĂšle Freund certainly lead one of the most turbulent lives. She recounts her double life as a photographer and historian of photography with humour and wit.
Born in 1908 to a German Jewish bourgeois family, Freund was twelve years old when her father gave her her first camera. Yet, it was out of necessity that she became a photographer: she had to pay for her studies in sociology and art history in Freiburg and then Frankfurt, with the intention of becoming a journalist. She began a thesis on the history of photography, which she continued in Paris, her city of refuge from 1933 onwards. As a member of the Socialist Youth, she feared persecution.
Freund produced more than 180 portraits, often in colour, of writers and artists such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Colette, Cocteau or Marcel Duchamp that constitute a window into twentieth-century thinking. The history of photography is still in its infancy in the 30s when GisĂšle Freund lays the groundwork for its essential questions, as did Walter Benjamin whom she met in Paris and whose essays are better known than hers, even though they share the same conclusions.

Pour ce quatriĂšme Ă©pisode, nous continuons le nouveau chapitre qui nous plonge dans le Paris de lâentre-deux-guerres, ces annĂ©es 20 devenues cĂ©lĂšbres grĂące Ă lâexpression des annĂ©es folles. En quoi rĂ©side la folie de cette dĂ©cennie ? Elle est due pour beaucoup Ă des femmes qui sâĂ©panouissent dans cette capitale accueillante, vivent leur vie comme elles lâentendent, deviennent des artistes cĂ©lĂšbres au mĂȘme titre que les hommes. Elles jouent un rĂŽle primordial dans la construction de la modernitĂ©, et nous les redĂ©couvrons aujourdâhui.
GisĂšle Freund est sans doute celle dont la vie est la plus romanesque. Elle raconte avec humour et esprit sa double vie de photographe et dâhistorienne de la photographie.
NĂ©e en 1908 dans une famille de la bourgeoisie juive allemande, elle a douze ans quand son pĂšre lui offre son premier appareil photo. Câest cependant par nĂ©cessitĂ© quâelle devient photographe ; il lui faut payer ses Ă©tudes : la sociologie et lâhistoire de lâart, Ă Fribourg puis Ă Francfort, dans lâintention de devenir journaliste. Elle commence une thĂšse sur lâhistoire de la photographie, quâelle poursuit Ă Paris, sa ville refuge Ă partir de 1933. Membre des Jeunesses socialistes, elle craint les persĂ©cutions.
Elle a rĂ©alisĂ© plus de cent quatre-vingts portraits dâĂ©crivains et artistes, souvent en couleurs, qui constituent un tĂ©moignage de la pensĂ©e du XXe, dont James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Colette, Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp⊠L'histoire de la photographie est encore balbutiante dans les annĂ©es 30 ; GisĂšle Freund pose les jalons dâune rĂ©flexion essentielle, comme celle de Walter Benjamin quâelle rencontre dâailleurs Ă Paris et dont les essais sont plus connus que les siens alors quâils partagent pourtant les mĂȘmes constats.
Le podcast Les grandes dames de lâart donne la parole aux artistes femmes du XXe siĂšcle. Elles parlent de leur Ćuvre, de leur vie, du monde qui les entoure et de leurs conquĂȘtes. Partons Ă la recherche de leur prĂ©sence, de leurs secrets. Retrouvons lâhistoire cachĂ©e des artistes femmes, Ă partir de leurs voix.

For this third episode, we continue our new chapter that plunges us into the Paris of the inter-war period, the decade that notoriously became known as the Roaring Twenties. What did the wildness of this decade consist of? It is largely due to women who flourished in this welcoming capital, lived their lives as they wanted, and became artists on equal footing with men. They played a primordial role in the construction of modernity, and we are rediscovering them today.
Among the women artists present in Paris in the 1920s, many more than one would think are well-known and able to live from their work. Marie Laurencin, born in 1883, who modestly repeated in her interviews that she had no natural predisposition for painting, is one of these personalities to rediscover.
After training at the Manufacture de SĂšvres, where she learned to paint on porcelain, the French artist took painting classes at the Humbert Academy. At the turn of the century she met the Parisian avant-garde, amongst which are Picabia and Braque, who in turn introduced her to Picasso as well as Apollinaire, poet and influential art critic of her time, with whom she had a romantic relationship from 1907 to 1912. He put her on a par with male artists in his art columns. In fact, Marie Laurencin was famous during her lifetime. She exhibited very regularly both before and after the war, and received many portrait commissions of celebrities of the time, including, to name but one, Coco Chanel.

Pour ce troisiĂšme Ă©pisode, nous continuons le nouveau chapitre qui nous plonge dans le Paris de lâentre-deux-guerres, ces annĂ©es 20 devenues cĂ©lĂšbres grĂące Ă lâexpression des annĂ©es folles.

Parmi les femmes artistes prĂ©sentes Ă Paris dans les annĂ©es 20, beaucoup plus quâon ne croit sont cĂ©lĂšbres et vivent de leur travail. La modeste Marie Laurencin, qui rĂ©pĂšte dans ses interviews nâavoir aucune facilitĂ© pour la peinture, nĂ©e en 1883, fait partie de ces personnalitĂ©s Ă redĂ©couvrir.
Lâartiste française sâest dâabord formĂ©e Ă la Manufacture de SĂšvres, oĂč elle apprend la peinture sur porcelaine, puis suit des cours de peinture de lâacadĂ©mie Humbert. DĂ©but 1900, elle rencontre lâavant-garde parisienne : Picabia, Braque qui lâintroduit Ă Picasso par exemple, ainsi quâApollinaire le critique dâart de son temps et poĂšte, avec lequel entretient elle une relation amoureuse de 1907 Ă 1912. Celui-ci la met Ă lâĂ©gal des hommes artistes dans ses chroniques dâart. De fait, Marie Laurencin est cĂ©lĂšbre. Avant et aprĂšs guerre, elle expose trĂšs rĂ©guliĂšrement, multiplie les commandes de portraits des personnalitĂ©s de lâĂ©poque dont, pour nâen citer quâune, Coco Chanel.

For a second episode, we continue our new chapter that plunges us into the Paris of the inter-war period, the decade that became notoriously known as the Roaring Twenties. What did the wildness of this decade consist of? It is largely due to women who flourished in this welcoming capital, lived their lives as they wanted, and became artists on equal footing with men. They played a primordial role in the construction of modernity, and we are rediscovering them today.
One of them is Sonia Delaunay, born in 1885 in Gradizhsk (today in Ukraine), and raised by her uncle in Saint Petersburg in an artistic environment. She chose to move to Paris at the age of 20, convinced by the importance of this city. She met Robert Delaunay. They married and settled in Madrid and then in Portugal until their return to Paris in 1920.
For a very long time, Sonia Delaunay remained in the shadow of her husband, even though they did everything together. For example, in 1911 they established Orphism: a pictorial movement characterized by the use of bright colors and geometric shapes. She had an artistic career of her own, and also painted and created numerous decorative arts objects and textiles. She was an important woman in the art world of her time. In 1964, an exhibition of her works was organized at the Musée du Louvre. She was one of the first women to have had such a retrospective in her lifetime.

Many of them came from abroad to settle in Paris, where they knew they would find private academies for their training and a growing avant-garde in which they could find their place. This was the case for Marie Vassilieff, born in 1884 in Smolensk. Thanks to a grant from the Tsarina, this intrepid young Russian, whose parents intended for her to study medicine, opted for art, started her training at the Academy of Saint Petersburg, and in 1905, at the age of 21, settled in the Montparnasse district. She would later say: âYes, itâs me, Marie Vassilieff, very small, very blond, very round, very gray eyes, very short hair and who has been living for twenty years in this hell, this unique paradise that is Parisâ. Her joyful voice and her tenacious character take us on an adventure, and show us what it was like to be an artist at the beginning of the century.

Ils se marient et sâinstallent Ă Madrid puis au Portugal jusquâen 1920, date de leur retour Ă Paris.
Pendant trĂšs longtemps, Sonia Delaunay sera dans lâombre de son Ă©poux. Pourtant ils font tout ensemble.

Pour ce premier Ă©pisode, nous ouvrons un nouveau chapitre qui nous plonge dans le Paris de lâentre deux guerres, ces annĂ©es 20 devenues cĂ©lĂšbres grĂące Ă lâexpression des annĂ©es folles.

Elles sont nombreuses Ă venir de lâĂ©tranger pour sâinstaller Ă Paris, oĂč elles savent quâelles trouveront des acadĂ©mies privĂ©es pour leur formation et des avant-gardes en plein essor oĂč elles peuvent trouver leur place. Câest le cas de Marie Vassilieff, nĂ©e en 1884 Ă Smolensk. GrĂące Ă une bourse de la tsarine cette jeune russe intrĂ©pide, que ses parents destinaient Ă des Ă©tudes de mĂ©decine, opte pour lâart, se forme Ă lâAcadĂ©mie de Saint Petersbourg, et Ă 21 ans dĂ©cide de poser ses valises dans le quartier du Montparnasse, en 1905.
Elle dira plus tard : « Oui, câest moi, Marie Vassilieff, toute petite, toute blonde, toute ronde, les yeux trĂšs gris, les cheveux trĂšs courts et qui vit, depuis vingt ans dĂ©jĂ , dans cet enfer, ce paradis unique qui est Paris. » Sa voix joyeuse, son caractĂšre tenace, nous emportent dans lâaventure dâĂȘtre artiste au dĂ©but du siĂšcle.

After Leonora Carrington and to close this chapter on surrealist women artists, letâs discover the voice of Valentine Hugo, an artist consumed by art whose work ethic and determination are perceptible in the account she gives of her life.
She first became interested in dance and music and, after being drawn to the world of theatre, made numerous costumes and sets, collaborating regularly with the most famous directors and choreographers of her time. From 1931 onwards, she became one of the few women officially introduced into the surrealist group. She designed installations from encounters or collages of found objects. During this period, she also began to paint numerous portraits of her entourage, always from memory.

AprĂšs Leonora Carrington et pour clore ce chapitre sur les femmes surrĂ©alistes, dĂ©couvrons la voix de Valentine Hugo, une artiste habitĂ©e par lâart dont la force de travail et la dĂ©termination sont perceptibles dans le rĂ©cit quâelle fait de sa vie.
Elle sâintĂ©resse dâabord Ă la danse et la musique et, portĂ©e vers le monde du thĂ©Ăątre, confectionne de nombreux costumes et dĂ©cors, collaborant rĂ©guliĂšrement avec les metteurs en scĂšne et chorĂ©graphes les plus cĂ©lĂšbres de son temps. A partir de 1931, elle devient lâune des rares femmes introduites officiellement dans le groupe surrĂ©aliste. Elle conçoit des installations rĂ©sultant de rencontres ou collages dâobjets trouvĂ©s. Durant cette pĂ©riode, elle commence aussi Ă peindre de nombreux portraits de son entourage, toujours de mĂ©moire.

Following that of Leonor Fini, we hear the voice of another great surrealist woman, Leonora Carrington. Everything about her is surrealist: the way she spoke, expressed herself, and lived her life. Her world view, as the word âsur-realistâ indicates, lies beyond or above reality. Listening to her is like entering an occluded and enchanted world where words lose their common meaning.
Leonora Carrington was an author as all as a painter. Her work was profoundly and voluntarily enigmatic; her paintings were often composed to be observed from right to left, opposite to the western reading direction. They often alluded to the past, the present, and the future all at once. This theme of upturning or rearranging the order of things can also be perceived in her writing.

AprĂšs Leonor Fini, Ă©coutons la voix de Leonora Carrington, une autre grande artiste femme surrĂ©aliste. Sa maniĂšre de parler, de sâexprimer et de vivre est en tout point surrĂ©aliste. Sa vision du monde, comme indique le mot « sur rĂ©el », est au-delĂ du rĂ©el. A lâĂ©couter, on rentre dans un monde occultĂ© et ensorcelĂ© oĂč les mots perdent leur sens habituel. Dâailleurs, LĂ©onora Carrington est aussi autrice que peintre.
Son oeuvre est profondĂ©ment et volontairement Ă©nigmatique. La composition de ses tableaux est souvent Ă regarder de droite Ă gauche, contrairement au sens de la lecture occidentale. Elle y Ă©voque Ă la fois le passĂ©, le prĂ©sent et le futur. ParallĂšlement, dans ses Ă©crits, on retrouve sa maniĂšre de mettre les Ă©lĂ©ments du monde Ă lâenvers ou, du moins, dans un ordre inattendu.

After the chapter on abstraction, we open a new theme, that of Surrealist women artists. The group formed in Paris in 1924 around André Breton. In the beginning, it was solely composed of men, either recognised or rejected by this charismatic and authoritarian leader. Women were only present as muses or partners. In the 1930s, they began to take hold of this language, and it is only recently that their work has been rediscovered through exhibitions and publications.
Leonor Fini, like many other women artists, had a special place within the movement. She herself spoke of a âcompanionshipâ with Surrealism, for lack of having been officially recognised by Breton. Yet, the artist considered that she had painted in a surreal manner since the age of sixteen, revealing her inner self. She regarded her work to be autobiographical and independent.The podcast Great Women of Art gives a voice to women artists of the 20th century.

AprĂšs le chapitre des abstraites, nous ouvrons un nouveau thĂšme, celui des artistes femmes surrĂ©alistes. Le groupe se forme Ă Paris en 1924 autour de la figure dâAndrĂ© Breton. Ă ses dĂ©buts, il est exclusivement composĂ© dâhommes, adoubĂ©s ou rejetĂ©s par ce chef de file charismatique et autoritaire. Les femmes nây sont prĂ©sentes quâen tant que muses ou compagnes. Dans les annĂ©es 30, elles commencent Ă se saisir de ce langage, et ce nâest que rĂ©cemment, depuis quelques annĂ©es, quâon les redĂ©couvre Ă travers des expositions et des publications.
Comme beaucoup dâautres artistes femmes, Leonor Fini occupe une place particuliĂšre au sein du mouvement. Elle-mĂȘme parle dâun « compagnonnage » avec le surrĂ©alisme, faute dâavoir Ă©tĂ© officiellement reconnue par Breton. Pourtant, lâartiste considĂšre que dĂšs lâĂąge de seize ans, elle a peint dâune façon surrĂ©elle. Elle dĂ©voile son ĂȘtre intĂ©rieur et voit ainsi son Ćuvre comme autobiographique et indĂ©pendante.Le podcast Les grandes dames de lâart donne la parole aux artistes femmes du XXe siĂšcle. Elles parlent de leur Ćuvre, de leur vie, du monde qui les entoure et de leurs conquĂȘtes. Partons Ă la recherche de leur prĂ©sence, de leurs secrets. Retrouvons lâhistoire cachĂ©e des artistes femmes, Ă partir de leurs voix.

Trois Ă©pisodes ont dĂ©jĂ Ă©tĂ© consacrĂ©s Ă de grandes peintres abstraites : Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Ana Eva Bergman et Aurelie Nemours. Le quatriĂšme, consacrĂ© Ă GeneviĂšve Asse, parait quelques semaines aprĂšs son dĂ©cĂšs en aoĂ»t dernier. Elle avait 98 ans. Cette pionniĂšre de lâabstraction a dĂ» attendre dâavoir 40 ans pour prĂ©senter son travail en galerie, 65 ans pour une exposition musĂ©ale Ă Paris (au MusĂ©e dâart moderne de la Ville) et 90 ans pour sa rĂ©trospective au centre Pompidou. Voici une occasion de retrouver sa voix limpide, aĂ©rienne, Ă la fois prĂ©cise et poĂ©tique, Ă lâimage dâune peinture directe, efficace, presque monochrome mĂȘme si lâartiste rĂ©cuse ce terme.

Three episodes have already been dedicated to great abstract painters: Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Ana Eva Bergman and, Aurélie Nemours. This fourth episode, dedicated to GeneviÚve Asse, is broadcast a couple of weeks after she passed away in August. She was 98. A pioneer of abstraction, she had to wait to be 40 for her work to be shown regularly in galleries, 65 for an exhibition in a Parisian museum (at the Modern Art Museum), and 90 to get a retrospective of her work at the Pompidou Centre. Here is an occasion to listen again to her clear an airy voice, simultaneously precise and poetic, just like her direct, efficient almost monochromatic painting style (even though this is a term she rejected).
The podcast Great Women of Art gives a voice to women artists of the 20th century. They speak about their work, their lives, the world around them and their achievements. Let us go in search of their presence, their secrets. Let us rediscover the hidden history of women artists through their voices.

AprĂšs les Ă©pisodes consacrĂ©s Ă Maria Helena Vieira da Silva et Ă Ana Eva Bergman, nous aimerions vous faire dĂ©couvrir une troisiĂšme femme peintre pionniĂšre de lâabstraction. AurĂ©lie Nemours, nĂ©e en 1910 Ă Paris et morte en 2005, brille par la radicalitĂ© de son parcours. Vous allez entendre sa voix aussi abstraite et radicale que sa peinture. En quelques mots, Nemours a revolutionnĂ© lâabstraction gĂ©omĂ©trique, en imposant des formes simples, des couleurs en aplat, et souvent rĂ©duit tout au noir et blanc. Elle choisit la ligne horizontale et verticale et dĂ©laisse donc les diagonales et courbes. Elle travaille en sĂ©rie, quâelle appelle des familles ; on en compte 22 dans son catalogue raisonnĂ©.

After the episodes dedicated to Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and Ana Eva Bergman, we would like to introduce you to a third female painter, a pioneer of abstraction, Aurélie Nemours. She was born in 1910 in Paris and died in 2005, and stands out because of the radical path her career took. You will soon hear her voice, a voice as abstract and radical as her painting. To introduce her in a few words, Nemours revolutionised geometrical abstraction by using simple shapes, colours applied in solid coatings, and often reducing her palette to black and white. She chose the horizontal and vertical lines and abandoned diagonals and curves. She worked in series that she called families, there are 22 of them in her catalogue.

Following the episode on Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, letâs carry on discovering the history of female abstraction. Anna Eva Bergman was born in Norway in 1909 and died in 1987. She was remarkable in her strength and singularity: after practising figurative painting she moved onto abstract painting, whilst refusing the expression « abstract art ». She called her work non-figurative and talked about the art of abstracting.
From 1920 to 1940 her painting was inhabited by quirky characters, but also darker ones when it came to criticising the German armyâs occupation of Norway. She also painted urban landscapes. At the end of the 1940s, she shifted towards abstraction, still working from recognizable shapes and forms originating in nature or Scandinavian mythology.

Suite Ă lâĂ©pisode consacrĂ© Ă Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, nous aimerions continuer Ă vous faire dĂ©couvrir une histoire de lâabstraction au fĂ©minin. Anna Eva Bergman, nĂ©e en 1909 en NorvĂšge et morte en 1987, est exemplaire dans sa force et sa singularitĂ© : elle a Ă©tĂ© une peintre figurative puis abstraite, tout en refusant lâexpression dâart abstrait. Elle prĂ©fĂšre dire de son travail quâil sâagit dâun art non figuratif, et aime parler de lâart dâabstraire.
De 1920 Ă 1940 sa peinture est peuplĂ©e de personnages cocasses ou sombres lorsquâil sâagit de commenter lâoccupation de la NorvĂšge par les armĂ©es allemandes. Elle peint Ă©galement des paysages urbains. Puis Ă la fin des annĂ©es 40, elle bascule vers lâabstraction, mais son Ćuvre se construit toujours Ă partir de formes identifiables, issues de la nature ou de la mythologie scandinave.
Le podcast Les grandes dames de lâart donne la parole aux artistes femmes du XXe siĂšcle. Elles parlent de leur Ćuvre, de leur vie, du monde qui les entoure et de leurs conquĂȘtes. Partons Ă la recherche de leur prĂ©sence, de leurs secrets. Retrouvons lâhistoire cachĂ©e des artistes femmes, Ă partir de leurs voix.
