Henriette Barety 1934-2017, painter from Nice, companion of the painter Sylvain Vigny (1903-1970) and friend of the painter Bernard Damiano (1926-2000). There is in Barety's universe a mixture of bright colors and a feeling of pain and sadness, the characters seem "elsewhere", lost in their thoughts, the faces are rarely cheerful. Always this connection with death, the disappearance of his companion the painter Vigny. Also a lot of symbol, the statues, the trees with the faces, the boat on the shore, the angels. Between Cocteau and Chagall.
