This exhibition is the result of ongoing research and restoration efforts, piecing together the fragments of a life and career that until now hasn't been studied in depth.
Nearly 80 years after she bequeathed her entire body of work to the Luxembourg state, her art remains mostly unexamined.
Born in 1879 into a wealthy Luxembourgish family, Berthe Brincour was among the few women of her generation to receive formal training as an artist.

She studied at the Damen-Akademie des Künstlerinnen-Vereins München, one of the few institutions open to women at the time.
Munich
In Dachau, then a thriving artists' colony, Brincour developed her distinctive style — swirling, graphic lines with soft, often pastel colours.
Dachau
Moving to Geneva and later Lausanne, her work explored landscape and the human figure with increasing depth and introspection.
Switzerland
In Paris, Brincour spent her final years. Her depictions of the human body challenge beauty standards, appearing raw, peculiar and slightly unsettling.
