Presentation

A draftsman with patiently proven gifts, Annie Puybareau, who has learned the lesson of Robert Savary and Albert Malet, gives figurative art back its power of natural enchantment. Just as comfortable in large format as in miniature, she stands out for the firmness of her compositions and the astonishing diversity of the themes she offers us. From humble still life to panoramic landscapes, from intimate portraits to genre scenes, she never lets herself go easy. A traveler at heart, Annie Puybareau magnifies what conspires with the charm of sites as well as the fleeting flavor of things: the velvety light of a clear day, the smooth flesh of a fruit, the nobility of an equestrian scene, the touching beauty of a face, the splendor of a feria or a Venetian scene. Color for Annie Puybareau comes in all its nuances. Imperial to depict the dazzling finery of the beautiful Sevillians or the colorful atmosphere of an exotic market, suave when it lingers on the beaches and shores of Normandy. A matter of climate and light? Yes, but not only. It is above all an ability to transcribe the vibration of things. It seems that the painter flees all monotony, finding in the South of Spain subjects to the size of her artistic ambitions. It is the very soul of the earth which is then sublimated. The expanse becomes the inspiration for dreams, the whiteness of the houses invokes the voluptuousness of the shade, the secret magic of which Annie Puybareau knows how to filter. It sometimes reminds us of Jean Marc who made all distant lands an asylum for the heart and a haven of fraternity. From one canvas to another, the eye delights in, following in the footsteps of the artist who does not fear to seek inspiration at the end of the world: A street in San Cristobal, A stopover in Cadaqués so dear to Salvador Dali, a view of Shanghai in the evening, A souk in North Africa ... But beyond the spectacular, it is frequently on a detail that the gaze lingers, happy to find a field of poppies, a cheese board or a simple bouquet of flowers. Because the artist neglects nothing that conspires with the sweetness of life. - Luis Porquet Advocated by talented artists and served by mediocre people without personality, figurative painting shows itself however adorned with the best of seduction and admiration when it is expressed by real creators such as Annie Puybareau so much it bewitches picture rails of salons and galleries renowned for its undeniable and always remarkable style. Annie Puybareau thus demonstrates with panache the precious ardor of her paintings where life is omnipresent in her moving skies, daring sites, nourished by these people whose slightest gesture, the finest attitude are in agreement and in harmony with a realism. always seductive magic so much the colors are admirably reflected and analyzed by the light, whether lively or discreet in the course of its themes. That's all, Annie Puybareau, by the grace of her gestural dynamics, her assured and daring chromaticism, however, and the undoubted charm of a perfect and bewitching artistic mastery, submerged in creative enthusiasm. - André Ruellan Annie Puybareau the light eye Attracted by painting at a very early age, Annie Puybareau owes the ease of her touch to a long practice of drawing and oil on canvas. Annie Puybareau has created a style of touching smoothness. As skilled in portraiture as in still life or large-scale subjects, it is in the landscape that she finds her greatest source of inspiration. Served by a palette of delicate nuances, she knows how to extract from the everyday what makes it the quintessence. If the discovery of Morocco, a great purveyor of optical sensations, allowed her to develop her sense of light, Annie Puybareau had long understood the importance of lighting in the expressive force of a work. One only has to look at his old works to be convinced. Born in Paris, Annie felt an attraction for painting very early on. Wig maker in the troupe led by Jean-Louis Barrault, her father took her behind the scenes of theatrical life; when he was busy with his work, his mother frequently took him and his brother to visit the capital's museums, monuments and parks. A good start for the sensitive and curious girl that she was. After studying literature at the University of Rouen, Annie Puybareau enrolled in the school of Fine Arts in this city. She stayed there for over ten years, tirelessly working to perfect her drawing practice, a very precious asset in the career of a painter. A student of Savary (Grand Prix de Rome in 1950) and of Lasgy, current director of the school, she also followed the teaching that Albert Malet, a man of rare generosity, lavished on the motive. Annie Puybareau's strength lies in the consistency of her work and her radiant sensitivity. Equally gifted for music, she could have embarked on a career in this field. But his love of painting took over. Based on a proven layout, his technique is always at the service of emotion. Inspired at first by specifically Norman subjects, she stands out from her colleagues by traveling through Morocco and Italy, lands which never leave the traveler unscathed from emotions. Especially when he is a painter ?! What sumptuous pages gleaned at the edge of the wadis or in the souks ?! How many bright moments in Saint Mark's Square ?! Is it his precocious approach to boards that gave the painter a certain taste for staging? What is unique about her is this inimitable way of arranging characters in the setting. They are never there to make up or furnish an empty space. They fully participate in the atmosphere and the scenography of the work. Their attitude reveals their inner state. They are resolutely “chosen”. Their powerfully expressive face makes their presence familiar to us, sometimes even fraternal. Astonishingly rich, Annie Puybareau's palette likes to use light tones, ochres and soft greens. She makes the shadows light and volatile, transforms the landscape into a caress, a “lyrical offering”, to borrow a title from Rabindranath Tagore. It is a source of joy for the eye. - Luis Porquet (Painters in Normandy) Publications: - "Values of art" (N ° 71) - "Artists" (N ° 78, 87, 89) - "Practice of the arts" (N ° 33, 35, 85 , 88, 99+ hors série N ° 18, 26) - “arts actualités magazine” (N ° 89, 100, 124) (Hors série N ° 7, 8) - “Polo” (No 4) - “Normandie magazine” N ° 144, 197 - "Plaisirs de peindre" N ° 7 + special issue N ° 11, 20, N ° 68 - "Le journal des arts (03/05/04) -" Painting the seascapes "by Françoise Coffrant" Editions Fleurus - Special issue “Normandie-magazine” 2008- ”Peintres en Normandie” - “Pratique des Arts” (Special special issue 20 years-December 2015)
