Marie Vassilieff with editions BVR

Editions BVR (bnoel.herbaut.de) have just published a remarkable book of reference of more than 220 pages, written by Claude Bernès and Benoît Noël, on the life and the work of Marie Vassilieff “Marie Vassilieff - artistic work, the academy of painting, the canteen of Montparnasse” One discovers there not only all its personal life but also all the aspects of its immense talent as painter, sculptrice, autheure, dancer, decorator, costumer and creative of headstocks, puppets and of masks for the scene. It is almost at the same time, 1952 for Petersen and 1953 for Marie Vassilieff, that the two artists enter to the old people's home of Nogent-sur-Marne “La Maison des Artistes”. Marie Vassilieff will carry out these two portraits of Petersen there.
