Elmina Moisan

Elmina Moisan (1897-1938) was a Chilean painter remembered in the historiography as part of the Generación del 13.

Of French descent, Moisan entered the School of Fine Arts in 1912, being a student of the Spanish painter Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor y Zaragoza and Ricardo Richon Brunet.

After receiving her teaching degree with a major in visual arts, she taught at the Liceo de Chicas N ° 4 in Santiago.

[2] Her works are mainly portraits, scenes of customs, landscapes and still lifes made with a subtle and quite personal style.

During her trip, she contracted malaria, a situation that forced her to return to Chile where, after a month of illness, she died in the city of Santiago.
