Shipping from August 15, 2025 Lyne SEYBEL (1919-2009) Her passion for drawing has been present since childhood, using notebooks that she always carries with her, capturing the movements of life, the colors, the poetry of the moment, the humor of people. It’s a "Woman riding a bicycle," "Mouffetard Street," "Children playing in the garden," "Fishermen hauling boats on the beach," "The black sweeper," the "Green boat on the sea" ... She then follows, as an independent student, the courses of the Fine Arts and the School of the Louvre, draws a lot from the Antique in the galleries of the Louvre Museum, and roams Paris in all weathers with her easel. During various trips, she meets Pierre BONNARD in Deauville, who is very interested in her notebooks and ardently encourages her to continue. In Cannet, she meets again with this great master with whom she has long discussions about the play of light and colors, the expression of her sensitivity, the resonances of the soul. She then paints "The Little Girl of Light", "The Lunch of Sun", "Lolita with Red Bun", "From the Balcony of Eze-sur-Mer", "The Banks of the Seine at Bougival", "Storm at Honfleur", "The Church of Auvers"... She attends the FROCHOT Academy in Pigalle, where TOULOUSE-LAUTREC had worked; she hones her drawing skills so that each piece becomes a true little painting in itself. Among the works she created at that time, we can mention "Nude Woman on a Sofa," "The Black Woman," "Alice with Curly Bun"... She works at the Grande Chaumière in Montparnasse and especially in André LHOTE's studio, where Henri GOETZ provides her support. He understands her views and her personal way of painting, where the rich material radiates the inner light of a constructed subject, in colors that are in happy or sometimes bold harmonies. During her stays in Normandy, the mist that is pierced by a few rays of sunshine before flooding the landscape fascinates her. She paints "Boats at Barfleur", "Low Tide", "Green Boat at Saint-Vaast", "Mist in Cotentin"... In Auvergne, and more specifically in Cantal, it is the layers of bright colors that overlap and shape the landscape: "The mountains", "Beyond St Urcize", "the fields", "Dawn in Auvergne"… During this period of work, she is encouraged to show herself in the painting salons in Paris. She becomes a member of the French Artists and Independent Artists. Her works are noted and she is sought after to exhibit both in Paris and in the provinces and abroad. During her various solo exhibitions, she is always very moved to see that she brings a message of joy, happiness, and deep harmony to an audience of all nationalities. She then stays more and more often in Venice, where she immerses herself in the mists of light where pale golds succeed and mingle with the pink mother-of-pearl of dawns. It is not uncommon to see her, in the early morning, her easel set up, capturing the fleeting nuances, the lightness of the air, the diaphanous colors ("Dawn in Venice", "Light", "Morning San Giorgio"…). From now on, for some, the early mornings will undoubtedly evoke Lyne's works. On the contrary, the warm and flamboyant tones of the sunsets in Venice evoke in her an exuberance of colors in an almost theatrical setting ("Evening in Venice", "The Purple Gondolier", "A Camellia on the Lagoon", "Midnight Carnival", "Summer Evening on the Grand Canal", ... ) In Auvergne, where she goes every year, she interacts with nature. The fields are for her a source of deep emotions, due to the multiplicity, the movement of colors, the transparency of the air, the musicality of the light. She perceives with each step an immense song that structures itself and rises, imbued with tenderness, resonances, and the clarity of the soul. She paints "Summer Landscape", "Fields in Spring", "Purple Fields", "End of Summer".... On the Norman coast, she rediscovers the gentle musicality of colors, the transparency of the air, the iridescent light.
