The Artist's Story

A remarkable talent emerged from Morocco in 1914. Paulette Denise Suzanne Bardy grew up in Fès, where the bright North African sun and rich cultural landscape shaped her artistic vision. Her father, Ulysse Bardy, gave her access to the finest education as a prominent doctor and real estate pioneer. This privileged beginning opened doors to artistic training that would define her career.

The halls of École des Beaux-Arts in Rabat welcomed young Paulette as she developed her craft. Under Pierre Lavalley's guidance, she quickly stood out for her gift in portraiture. Her first student exhibition in 1935 marked the start of a promising career. The respected artist Charles Fouqueray recognized her potential and became her mentor, helping her develop the distinctive style that art lovers still admire today.

Paris embraced Bardy's talent. The prestigious Salon des Artistes Francais displayed her work repeatedly from 1938 to 1942. Her first exhibition earned an honorable mention, proving her place among France's notable artists. She showed her versatility at the Second Salon de la France d'outre-mer in 1940, bringing her unique perspective as an artist who understood both European and North African artistic traditions.

The Magic in Her Paintings

Bardy painted beach scenes like no other artist of her time. She learned from Eugène Boudin's famous seascapes but added her own magic. Her brush captured more than just waves and sand - it caught moments of joy, peace, and subtle romance by the sea. She understood how sunlight danced on water and how coastal air softened colors into dreamy scenes.

Marriage to Pierre Guarrigues, a French Foreign Legion captain, in 1946 added new depth to her art. Living between France and North Africa gave her work a special quality. She saw beauty others missed and painted it with both precision and feeling.
