Mick Micheyl Art

1922-2019

Mick Micheyl was born in Lyon and had a busy and rewarding artistic career as a singer, producer, reviewer, metal sculptor and artist. After having received training at the Ecole Lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts, she became a painter and decorator in the theatre but then commenced a career in the musical activities of a theatrical troupe. She won the ABC competition in Paris in 1949 with a song, Le Marchand de Poésie, which she composed herself. She then performed in many cabarets: L'Échelle de Jacob, Harlequin and Liberty's. In the 1950s, she was one of the most important French cabaret singers of that period. One of her titles, Un Gamin de Paris, became one of the French standards and also performed by Yves Montand and Robert Clary in the United States. In the 1960s, she turned to producing television shows. It was in 1974 that she decided to completely change direction to become a metal sculptor. After her career came to an end, several of her pieces were acquired by museums and private institutions. In 2009, an exhibition was organized as her last, in Paris. She took this decision because she had partial loss of sight due to some accidents in the creative process of her art. She died in the Burgundy region in 2019 after a stay in a care home. The country grieved her passing and now collects her art which lives on.

“A Balinese woman with offerings” (1936)
By Theo Meier
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Theo Meier (1908-1982) “A Balinese woman with offerings” Signed, dated '36 and annotated Mankok (the name of the sitter) lower left Sanguine on paper, measures: 57 x 41.5 cm In a handmade and hand painted frame with address: Max Kno¨ll, Herberggasse 4/1, Basel. Provenance: Private collection, Basel (acquired directly from the artist) Private collection, London Note: Theo Meier was born in Basel, where he attended art school and became a successful portrait painter. However, after visiting an exhibition in Basel of Tahitian paintings by Paul Gaugin, he decided to follow in Gaugin’s footsteps and go to the South Pacific. To finance his voyage, he founded a club in which every member pledged a monthly sum in return of which they could choose one of Meier’s paintings upon his return. In 1932, at the age of 24, he embarked on his voyage to the South Sea. In Tahiti, he certainly discovered the beauty of the colours of the tropical world but the simplicity of the inhabitants, he had seen in Gaugin’s paintings turned out to be more in the artist’s fantasy than in reality. He returned to Basel but in 1935 again was on his way to the South Sea. In 1936 he arrived in Bali, planning to stay there for two or three weeks, but thirty years later he was still there. In Bali “a delirium laid hold of me which even today has not subsided”, he was to write much later. The present drawing was made during his first “delirius” year in Bali. In Bali, he settled and found inspiration and friendship with other artists including Walter Spies...
