簽名：Alix Aymé（左下）
Born in 1894 in Marseille. After her studies at the Music Conservatory in Toulouse, the young Alix went on to become a student of Maurice Denis one of the founders of the Nabis group in France.
During the early 1920s, Alix Aymé accompanied her diplomat husband to Asia, where she discovered the technique of lacquer art. Later, she was appointed as a teacher at the Albert Sarraut High School in Vietnam, teaching alongside Joseph Inguimberty, and under the direction of Victor Tardieu. Together with her colleague Inguimberty, they opened a lacquer painting workshop at École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (EBAI) in Hanoi. This workshop left a lasting and profound influence on the artistic approach embraced by EBAI students, significantly shaping the evolution of Vietnamese lacquer painting as an art form.
Alix Aymé's paintings were crafted in a very personal manner, drawing inspiration from the large golden flat backgrounds of Japanese lacquer, as well as from Western Art Deco and Nabis styles. She employed various techniques such as etching, painting on silk, watercolour, black ink, tempera, lacquer, etc. Silk, in particular, is a her favourite medium.
The Portrait of the Young Girl presented in this sale demonstrates her mastery of watercolor on silk, which enabled the artist to create a delicate interplay of transparencies, shadows and light, enhanced by the natural movement of silk fibers. The artist skillfully employed a delicate colour palette to create this sensitive and poetic atmosphere.
