Museum dossier

One experience, one narrative

Her painting is not anecdotal: it does not tell a simple story, it reveals itself as a mirror of inner life and universal ideas.

At the dawn of a new millennium, human beings are searching for themselves and partly losing sight of essential values.

Annie Faure invites us to travel through her work into an inner world that belongs to each of us, both real and unreal, where dream and reality meet.

The deep emotions of life - love, suffering, death, hope - are at the core of her painting. On her canvases, she does not merely give her figures an expression: she seeks to reveal their intimate truth, marked by a fleeting emotion seen on a face, then recomposed from her inner vision. These original compositions remain alive and sincere.

Annie Faure invites each viewer to share the intense moments of the birth of her works by entering her universe and drawing from it a personal truth.

Awards

Awards and career markers

1989-1994 - Auction-room results

Public-auction references (1989-1994 archive): Nancy (6500-8000), Orleans (6000-15000), Versailles (7000-12500), Toulouse (4000-14000), Aix-en-Provence (4500-8500), Rambouillet (22000). In art-market terms, a room result means the price realized (hammer price plus fees). These amounts were most likely recorded in French francs (FRF), because euro cash entered circulation in 2002 (fixed rate: 1 EUR = 6.55957 FRF).

Sodal Nancy Cup

Career distinction attributed in a regional salon circuit. External sources mention international salons under the SODAL label (for example in Vittel), but the exact institutional definition of the "Sodal Nancy Cup" still needs confirmation from the original diploma.

R. Vrinat Prize (Metz)

Regional prize cited in Metz, with a silver-medal mention in family archives. The exact official framework of the competition is still under documentary verification.

Palm Beach and Rome

Honor Prize in Palm Beach (Florida) and Excellence Prize in Rome (Italy), presented in the archive as international salon/competition distinctions granted by a jury or organizing committee.

Italia 2000 Prize (Naples)

Gold medal and "Matilde Larovene" commemorative plaque, presented as distinctions from an international competition in Italy.

Academies and societies

Lifetime Honoris Causa member of CDAP Gela (Italy), member of I.A.G. Monte-Carlo, and member of the Artistes Francais society (historic selected salon) and the Independants society (founding principle: "without jury or awards").
