Biography
Biography
Richier was born in 1874, in Gap, Hautes-Alpes, but lived much of her childhood and adolescence in Algeria, returning to France by the time she was twenty. By 1894, she was studying in Marseille with the animal painter Walter Bildecombe. She lived in Aix-en-Provence with her husband Eugene Germain and their two children, Émile and Sylvain. At age 25, about 1899, she met Joseph Ravaisou and she took to painting. Reportedly, she also worked alongside Paul Cézanne, as did Ravaisou. In 1925, she watched over Joseph Ravaisou on his deathbed. Germain died in her flat in Aix-en-Provence in 1939, aged 64 or 65. She is buried in the Saint-Pierre Cemetery.
