Artist Alix Aymé's style and technique  

Alix Aymé is influenced by the styles of Paul Gauguin and Maurice Denis. She has worked with a wide variety of techniques, from classic oils on canvas, drawings and prints, to mastery of Vietnamese lacquer and ink painting. She inserts gilded elements into her compositions; very representative of Art Deco.

Alix Aymé, painter in vogue

Alix Aymé (1894-1989) was a renowned French artist. Born in Marseille, she studied drawing and music at the Toulouse Conservatoire. She proved extremely gifted in both fields, but chose drawing to pursue her career. Aymé moved to Paris, where she studied painting in Maurice Denis' studio. She helped him with the construction of the Champs Élysées theater. A short time later, she married a literature professor whom she accompanied to Hanoi and Shanghai, and went on to teach painting and drawing at Hanoi's French lycée.

Back in France, she separated from her husband and left for Indochina with her son: the French government had commissioned her to organize the 1931 Colonial Exhibition. She married Georges Aymé, a lieutenant-colonel, with whom she had a second son. She also traveled to Laos, where she found new sources of inspiration.

Alix Aymé was then appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts d'Indochine, founded by Victor Tardieu, where she was keen to continue the tradition of Vietnamese lacquerware. She is also interested in the technique of painting on silk, as were Vietnamese artists such as Nam Son Nguyen and Thuong Lan Nguyen. Today, these artists are hugely successful on the auction market, much sought-after by collectors, and their value is exploding.

At the end of her career, she created the Notre Dame de Fidélité Way of the Cross, entirely in Vietnamese lacquer, an absolutely original work that blends her Western inspirations with Far Eastern artistic techniques. She died in 1989.

Alix Aymé's imprint on her period 

Alix Aymé left her mark on her time through her artistic commitment. She also contributed to the evolution and modernization of Vietnamese lacquerware, passing on her know-how and skills to many other students after her. Few of the artist's works are in circulation today on the art market, which increases collectors' interest when one of them comes up for auction. 

Recognizing the artist's signature

Aymé often signs his name at the bottom of his drawings or oil paintings. Copies may exist, so expert appraisal is important.
