SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Germaine Lacaze (1908–1994) developed a body of painting and printmaking informed by the places she visited. Working from a Montparnasse studio from 1934, she held her first Paris solo exhibitions in 1935 and 1939, later exhibiting in Lausanne and San Sebastián. Portraits, nudes and still lifes appear alongside beaches and views of Paris, the Arcachon basin, Spain and Central America. Venice, which she visited regularly from 1968, also became a recurring subject. Her materials included oil paint, gouache, watercolour and ink, as well as printmaking techniques. Her Portrait de la mère de l’artiste, painted in 1931, is held by the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux. The museum in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés devoted a major exhibition to her in 1974.
