Illustration depictingBrittany of the Future by Malivel
Jeanne Malivel (French pronunciation:[ʒanmalivɛl]; 15 April 1895 – 2 September 1926) was aBreton designer and illustrator who inspired the Breton nationalist art movementSeiz Breur.
Born in 1895 in Loudéac[1] to a family of traders, her secondary studies in Rennes at the Institution de l’Immaculée Conception, included art courses by Louise Gicquel (1876–1956), who noticed her talent. In 1915, during the First World War, she became a nurse at Loudéac military hospital. The following year, Malivel entered the Académie Julian in Paris.
She revived the art of woodblock printing in her illustrations for the Breton nationalist bookThe History of our Brittany byJeanne Coroller-Danio in 1922.[2] These illustrations were influenced by the earlierSynthetism ofPaul Gauguin andÉmile Bernard.
The images were greatly admired byRené-Yves Creston, who considered them to provide the basis for a revived Breton style in art. Creston collaborated with Malivel on a number of works and in the pair set up Seiz Breur, which quickly grew in influence. The title of the movement was derived from a folk story about seven brothers ("seiz Breur" in Breton) collected and published by Malivel.
Malivel also painted works infresco, and designed furniture, embroidery and ceramics. She participated in the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industry in 1925, showing furniture collaboratively designed with Creston.[3] Following her sudden and early death at the age of 31 in the following year, in Rennes,[4] leadership of the movement fell to Creston. She was buried in Loudéac.
Jeanne Malivel touched upon various mediums throughout her career. She mainly didwoodblock prints and illustrations, but she also createdmurals and contributed to thedecorative arts with ceramics and furnitures.
Jeanne Malivel was an important figure who contributed to the renewal of wood engraving in Brittany. She drew inspiration from Irish art and theearly Middle Ages. Her engraved work consisted of more than 150 woodblock engravings which were mostly destined for publication. Her most famous work isThe History of our Brittany.[5]
