Works by Aurelie Nemours

Aurelie Nemours was a remarkable abstract painter whose work left an indelible mark on the art world. In 1929, Aurélie Nemours began artistic journey by enrolling at the École du Louvre. A few years later, she studied under the guidance of Paul Colin from 1937 to 1940.

In 1941, she continued her apprenticeship at André Lhote’s workshop, where she honed her skills until 1944. Encouraged by André Lhote, she exhibited her work in salons, gaining recognition. During this period, she also delved into writing and published her first poems in 1945. In 1955, a Parisian publisher printed her collection of poems titled “Midi la lune”, adorned with her own wood engravings.

She explored pastels and created a remarkable series called “Les Demeures” (The Mansions), inspired by the writings of Saint Teresa of Ávila. In 1953, Gallery Colette Allendy organized Aurélie Nemours’ first solo exhibition in Paris. It was during this time that she encountered the art of Piet Mondrian, which profoundly influenced her. The exhibition received acclaim, and her path as a geometric abstract artist was affirmed.

In 2007, she received the prestigious title of Chevalier of Arts and Letters in France.

Her journey continued until her passing on January 27, 2005, leaving behind a legacy of geometric abstraction and artistic exploration.

Aurélie Nemour's dedication to constructive art and her unwavering commitment to her craft make her a significant figure in 20th-century abstract painting.
