Biography


Alice Thevin was born in Paris in 1862, where she grew up until she later attended school in Le Havre. She developed an early interest in art and history and earned her degree in 1884. Thevin became a lecturer and traveled extensively in France and New England. Along the way, she met late-19th-century luminaries such as the composer Maurice Ravel and the heiress Fanny Mason, who would become Thevin's partner.

After falling ill in America, Thevin returned to France. There, she turned her attention to painting in the new Impressionist style. Her paintings were mainly oil and watercolors of the French and Swiss countryside. Her work is notable for the light and airy qualities she managed to bring to otherwise mundane subjects, giving them a touch of life that collectors still prize.

During her life, Alice Thevin exhibited her art in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. At the time of her death in 1937, Thevin left a large collection of finished paintings and sketches in the care of her partner, Fanny Mason.

        Alice Thevin (d. 1937) New York City Scene

        Est: $100 - $150

        Circa 1930s privately printed off-set lithograph by the artist Alice Thevin [died 1937). Approx. 9.5 x 12.5 in. This scene in New York City is called SEVENTH AVENUE SHOWING THE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. Alice Thevin, a French-born artist who divided her time between Europe and America. Her scenes were rendered in a loose, spontaneous style and exhibit her penchant for finding the picturesque in less obvious places, for example, a view of Washington Square focuses on a gnarled tree trunk rather than the famous arch, which becomes part of the background. Alice Thevin was born near Paris, France, and spent her childhood first in Paris and then in Le Havre, where she attended the convent of Sacre Coeur. After earning her degree, she returned to Paris where her circle of friends included artists and writers. She came to the United States with American friends she had met in Paris. For several years she lectured on art and literature in Boston, Philadelphia and New York. Falling ill, she returned to France to recuperate. After recovering, she realized her long cherished ambition to become a painter. She preferred plein air painting in oils and watercolors, interpreting the Swiss and French countryside, villages and street scenes. Wherever she traveled, she looked for interesting subjects and would delve into the history and background information of her subject. As she grew older, Thevin divided her time between Europe and the U.S. American freewheeling atmosphere appealed to her restless, modern spirit and stirred her imagination. She exhibited her work in Paris, New York and Boston, though the act of painting was more important to her than an exhibition career. At her death she left behind many portfolios filled with sketches of Paris and New York. VG

        Est: $100 - $150

        Circa 1930s privately printed off-set lithograph by the artist Alice Thevin [died 1937). Approx. 9.5 x 12.5 in. This scene in New York City is called SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH. Alice Thevin, a French-born artist who divided her time between Europe and America. Her scenes were rendered in a loose, spontaneous style and exhibit her penchant for finding the picturesque in less obvious places, for example, a view of Washington Square focuses on a gnarled tree trunk rather than the famous arch, which becomes part of the background. Alice Thevin was born near Paris, France, and spent her childhood first in Paris and then in Le Havre, where she attended the convent of Sacre Coeur. After earning her degree, she returned to Paris where her circle of friends included artists and writers. She came to the United States with American friends she had met in Paris. For several years she lectured on art and literature in Boston, Philadelphia and New York. Falling ill, she returned to France to recuperate. After recovering, she realized her long cherished ambition to become a painter. She preferred plein air painting in oils and watercolors, interpreting the Swiss and French countryside, villages and street scenes. Wherever she traveled, she looked for interesting subjects and would delve into the history and background information of her subject. As she grew older, Thevin divided her time between Europe and the U.S. American freewheeling atmosphere appealed to her restless, modern spirit and stirred her imagination. She exhibited her work in Paris, New York and Boston, though the act of painting was more important to her than an exhibition career. At her death she left behind many portfolios filled with sketches of Paris and New York. VG

Alice Thevin, a French-born artist who divided her time between Europe and America. Her scenes were rendered in a loose, spontaneous style and exhibit her penchant for finding the picturesque in less obvious places, for example, a view of Washington Square focuses on a gnarled tree trunk rather than the famous arch, which becomes part of the background. Alice Thevin was born near Paris, France, and spent her childhood first in Paris and then in Le Havre, where she attended the convent of Sacre Coeur. After earning her degree, she returned to Paris where her circle of friends included artists and writers. She came to the United States with American friends she had met in Paris. For several years she lectured on art and literature in Boston, Philadelphia and New York. Falling ill, she returned to France to recuperate. After recovering, she realized her long cherished ambition to become a painter. She preferred plein air painting in oils and watercolors, interpreting the Swiss and French countryside, villages and street scenes. Wherever she traveled, she looked for interesting subjects and would delve into the history and background information of her subject. As she grew older, Thevin divided her time between Europe and the U.S. American freewheeling atmosphere appealed to her restless, modern spirit and stirred her imagination. She exhibited her work in Paris, New York and Boston, though the act of painting was more important to her than an exhibition career. At her death she left behind many portfolios filled with sketches of Paris and New York. VG
