Henriette Dubois-Damart

[1] She studied in Paris, at the Académie Julian, where her instructors were Tony Robert-Fleury, Odilon Redon and Adolphe Déchenaud.

[2] In terms of style, Redon would be her primary influence; inspiring her Impressionistic color palette.

[3] In 1933, she married the Orientalist painter, Paul Élie Dubois, whom she had originally met at the Académie.

[4] After their marriage, she would accompany him throughout North Africa, where she painted landscapes and portraits of the local people; with a special affinity for young women and infants.

In addition to her paintings, she illustrated albums for children, such as Toinette et la guerre (Toinette and the War, 1917), by Lucie Paul-Margueritte, and Josette et Jehan de Reims (1910), by Louise-Andrée Roze; both published by Berger-Levrault [fr].
