Marie Louise Berteault
Born in 1879.
Marie Louise Berteault was an artist whose œuvre encompassed painting, sculpture and drawing. She is particularly known for her busts, which testify to her mastery of form and volume. The wife of the landscape painter Jean-Baptiste Hellé, her artistic career is closely linked to that of her husband, although the details of her career remain partly obscure.
Berteault’s contributions to art, though less well documented, deserve to be rediscovered and appreciated in the context of her time.
