In memory of Francine Simonin

Francine Simonin

Avui ens hem assabentat de la trista notícia de la mort de l’artista Francine Simonin. Ella ha estat un referent en el món artístic, destacant la seva aportació en el món del gravat. Va ser docent a “l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières” de 1971 a 1994. 

Sempre hem admirat la seva sensibilitat, la forma i valentia en desenvolupar la seva obra, ja sigui en gran o en petit format. Sabia combinar amb saviesa les formes gestuals i copsar al mateix temps la sensualitat i subtilesa, fent de les imatges poesies. Vam tenir el plaer de treballar alguns estius amb ella al taller de Murtra Edicions. 
Sempre en el nostre record, Jordi Rosés i Clàudia Lloret.
