Studio view - Suzanne DINKES (1895-1984)

Suzanne DINKESPILER or DINKES

1895-1984

Painter of genre, portraits, landscapes and scenes

A pupil of Humbert, she exhibited from 1920 at the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon des Artistes Français.

She frequented the artists of her time, notably the Pré-Saint-Gervais school.

Suzanne is as free a woman as her painting. This is reflected in her correspondence with Maurice Loutreuil, a leading figure in landscape painting.
Critics love the intensity of her touch, "the slightly roguish matter" free of academicism, but also of modernity.

If some of her works remind us of van Gogh or Valtat, Suzanne replies that "she paints what she paints, as she sees and feels it", regardless of whether the viewer makes comparisons.
