DE BEAUVOIR, HÉLÈNE
* 6.6.1910 Paris, † 1.7.2001 Goxwiller
Born in Paris in 1910, the French painter Hélène de Beauvoir was, together with her older sister Simone de Beauvoir, an important protagonist within feminism. Where one expressed herself in words, the other found expression in the medium of painting. She experienced the social and political changes of the 20th century, fought for her education and the recognition of her profession, and campaigned for women throughout her life. Having received a conservative education at a Catholic boarding school for girls, she soon cast off the shackles of convention and sought her own path as an artist. Her talent for drawing became apparent early on and in 1928 she was admitted to the art school École Art et Publicité. In 1936 she had her first solo exhibition in Paris.
In her creative engagement with the currents of the 20th century, Hélène de Beauvoir arrived at her own compelling formal language, characterised by great freedom and poetry, and the joy of experimenting with colour, form, and technique. In her works, she combined abstract elements with figurative depictions, showing great sensitivity for man and nature. Nevertheless, she was also interested in the social and political developments of her time and actively campaigned not only artistically but also socio-politically for equality and justice. For many years she travelled the world with her husband and finally settled in Alsace in 1963, where she devoted herself entirely to her painting. Imbued with a profoundly humanitarian way of thinking, inspired by emancipatory, social, and environmental issues, she created in her paintings a very personal vision of a more humane society, which to this day has lost none of its explosiveness or poetry. Hélène de Beauvoir died in Goxwiller in 2001.
