Description
Anne M. Matte Folk Art Needle Painting French Art This is a beautiful needle painting done by Anne-Marie Matte. This work is in good condition, the frame has scratches on it. 19.5in x 17.2in Weight: 2.4lbs Artists History: Anne-Marie Matte began working with her needle around 1925. By the early 1930’s she was producing her remarkable ‘Needle Paintings’ for the Canadian Handcrafts Guild galleries in Toronto and Montreal, as well as the Gallery L’Auberge du Faubourg in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, managed by Leonard Bourgault (one of the family of sculptors). She worked with Silk thread on Linen and preferred working traditional Quebec scenes; often establishing working relationships with formal artists. Horatio Walker was one such artist who took an interest in the work of Mlle Matte. She gained an international reputation; in New York (showing at the 1939 World’s Fair) and in Europe and England. She was a medal winner at the 1952 International Art Fair in Washington, DC. She signed her works: “Anne – M. Matte” in Silk thread in the lower right and always had a label with the title and her name including her married name (Desrosiers) on the reverse of the frame.
