The exhibition of works by Suzanne Minier
The exhibition of Miss Suzanne Minier, open at the moment, and until February 16, in the Reitlinger galleries, 12, rue La Boétie, is enjoying the most legitimate success. This artist, always very appreciated at the Salons of Women Painters and French Artists, is definitely asserting herself here by the certainty and variety of her talent. She cannot ever be criticized for remaining, like other women painters, confined to a single formula. Miss Minier has the rare merit of excelling in all genres. In her vigorous landscapes of Vendée, in her portraits, like this charming effigy of Mrs. Jefferson Cohn, in her interiors, in her still lifes, Miss Minier is always the personal artist who lets herself be seduced by all the colorful and picturesque spectacles of nature and humanity. Even in her landscapes, Miss Minier, after having painted her native Vendée, evokes the picturesqueness of the Bruges beguinage with a subtle understanding and then renders the particular charm of the banks of the Seine. It is a talent that is increasingly coming to the attention of amateurs. -
