DRAWING DATE58. SIZE 60X50CM
Christine Boumeester's work has always been very free vis-à-vis the artistic currents of her time. She obtained a diploma as a drawing teacher at the School of Fine Arts in The Hague in 1925, but little tempted by teaching, she took a studio and worked under the direction of the painter Reuter. In 1935, the Santee Landwer gallery in Amsterdam hosted his first solo exhibition. Enrolled in the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, she met the American painter Henri Goetz, whom she married six months later. She exhibited in various Parisian galleries as well as at the Salon des superindépendants, where she presented her works every year until 1938.

Influenced by the work of her friend Hans Hartung, she gradually turned to abstract painting. During these few years, the couple frequented the González and their surrealist friends: the Bréa, Mary Low (1912-2007), Oscar Domínguez, André Breton. In 1963, she moved with her husband to Villefranche-sur-Mer, where they met many artists such as Picasso, H. Hartung, Viera da Silva, Zao Wou-Ki. In 1968, she fell ill and died in 1971.
In 1983, following various donations, Villefranche-sur-Mer created the Goetz-Boumeester museum. From figuration to abstraction, the work of C. Boumeester is marked by a strong poetry of shapes and colors, where Eastern and Western landscapes are brought together in dreamlike compositions with multiple brilliances.
