After his death, she felt she had lost her spiritual father.

Between 1966 and 1973, she presented both private and public exhibitions in France, with a significant exhibition in Bordeaux in 1967. Her pieces often delved into themes of spirituality and the mystical, reflecting her deep connection to the metaphysical aspects of art. She was always in search of beauty and wonder, with sincerity and authenticity being essential to her. Grimb’s work continues to be recognized, especially her unique series Chemin de Croix Noir. While detailed information about her life and career is limited, her contributions to the art world, particularly her unique approach to painting and her exploration of spiritual themes, continue to be recognized and appreciated by art enthusiasts and collectors. © Big Sky Fine Art Discover the vibrant expression of nature in “Tout Est Rythme, Honfleur,” a captivating original oil on board painting by renowned French artist Chantal Grimb, created in 1972. This richly textured artwork vividly captures the dynamic landscapes of Honfleur, a historic port town in Normandy beloved by Impressionist painters.

Pluie a Venice (Venice in the Rain)
By André Hambourg
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
Pluie a Venice is painted in Hambourg's preferred palette of muted blue-green, grey, and gold with splashes of ruby red, deep blue, and emerald green. The soft colors work well for beach scenes and rainy days such as the ones portrayed in this painting. The impressionistic scene shows multiple pedestrians strolling down the boardwalk, shielding themselves from the rain with colorful umbrellas that provide pops of color and balance the overcast sky. The background contains a three-masted ship and Piazza San Marco's famous bell tower and Basilica. Hambourg uses the minimum number of brushstrokes necessary to portray ships, seagulls, buildings and people as well as reflections on the glistening sidewalk. The brushstrokes in the sky have an interesting texture that is controlled yet carefree and there is heavy impasto throughout. His portrayal is both realistic and romanticized. Hambourg was clearly influenced by the great Impressionist artists of earlier generations, perhaps none more than the one with a direct connection to his family. Hambourg's wife, Nicole Rachet, was born into a family with a large collection of works by Impressionist master Eugene Boudin. Rachet's grandfather was a contemporary and friend of Boudin's, and a collector of his work. In their later years, Hambourg and Rachet donated over 300 canvases by Boudin and other artists to the Eugene Boudin Museum in Honfleur, France. It was such a large and important gift that the collection bears...
