About the Item

Signed upper right, "Joffrin" for Guily-Jeanne Joffrin (French, 1909-2007) and painted circa 1965. Photo of the artist in her studio, 1995. Courtesy of Wikipedia. Born in Paris, Joffrin first attended the École Supérieure Sophie-Germain before, in 1928, studying at the École des Beaux-Arts, initially in the studio of Lucien Simon. She continued her studies there for several years in the studios of Jacques Despierre and Lucien Fontanarosa. After receiving her diploma, Joffrin was appointed Professor of Drawing and taught in Paris until 1945, when she began to devote herself exclusively to her career as a fine artist. Over the course of a long career, she exhibited internationally with success including at more than forty exhibitions in France (Paris, Aurillac, Rennes, Strasbourg, Reims, Rodez, Toulouse, Barbizon, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Cannes) as well as in Geneva, Vevey, San Francisco and Tokyo among other cities. The human face was of particular interest to Joffrin and she created many portraits of academic notables including Paul Guth, Suzanne Flon, Yvette Alde and Madeleine Robinson. She was also a successful illustrator and also worked in stained glass, composing windows for two churches in Brittany. The work of Guily Joffrin is held in the permanent collections of museums internationally, including the City of Paris, Museum of Sables-d'Olonne, Museum of the Petit Palais de Genève, Aurillac Museum, Museum of Fontainebleau and the Brest Museum. Awards: Prize of the National Society of Fine Arts of Paris. Silver Medal Art, Science and Letters. Gold Medal of the Montrouge Salon. Madeleine Bunoust Prize. Prize of the General Council of Fontainebleau. Diploma of Honor of the European Festival of Art in the Ardennes.
