Picture Set Of The Month - February 2025 - The Paintings Of Hélène De Beauvoir

'Serie Venise' a cubist/abstract painting
by Hélène De Beauvoir (1910-2001).
She was exhibiting here work across
Europe, Japan and the USA.

'Untitled', undated by Hélène De Beauvoir,
one of here greater accomplishments, away
from a painting career, was to be the president
of a centre for the care of battered women. 

'Self Portrait' as painted in 1955

Simone De Beauvoir (1908-86) was more

philosophical work 'The Second Sex' in 1949.

'The Flower Market' (undated) by Hélène De Beauvoir
(1910-2001) who painted until she eighty five years old,
