Antinéa (Marie-Louise Bergeaud)

1897-1983, France

Prior to her marriage, Marie-Louise Bergeaud works for five years in a tax office. Around the age of thirty-five, she suddenly becomes mute and then expresses deranged ideas. Interned in 1938, a few years later she starts to draw, claiming to be Antinéa, a “female divinity.” Realized in watercolor or crayon, her works show figures, often divinities, and symbols taken from a particularly rich personal belief system.
