Michèle Schmite

Michele Schmite was born in 1931. She lives and works in Paris and in Deauville since 1979. She studied at the Julian Academy and the Deris Academy of Paris, the Grande Chaumière workshop and Josette Vaudoux workshop. “Disciple of the great Aurélie Nemours, French pioneer of purist abstraction, Michele Schmite has been pursuing since the 50's demanding art works which gradually open up to figuration. Large formats, diptych, or triptych with strong colors, backgrounds striped with primitive graphic designs, everything reveals the happiness of painting outside the box. The work of art of an independent woman."- François Baudot
