Andrée Lavieille

She painted at Saint-Jean-de-Monts in Vendée beside Auguste Lepère, at Fontainebleau, Vendôme, Chartres, then in Paris, where she and her husband, Paul Tuffrau, a man of letters, have successively inhabited, in Gironde in the little village of Plassac, and above all in Brittany, which immediately won her heart, particularly at Le Pouldu (1924–1939), and in the region of the Pointe du Raz and the baie des Trépassés (1937–1947). She realized oil paintings, but more and more was attracted by watercolour, more spontaneous for her. Nourished by the classicism of the Chardin of the still lifes, her painting evoke the impressionists by its luminosity, and in some works the Fauves by the technique of flat tints, and the play of colours. Lavieille exhibited several times at Salon des Artistes Français, from 1911 to 1939.
