#47 - the edition of la lettre de St. Luc, Mai 2008,
Institue Saint Luc, Tournai,
Belgique
Bruges Art Route, Anne Duhem
“In the same district, St. Annarei, we stop along a canal and
ring at the door of Ellen Trezevant, who receives us in her
workshop-salon, filled with light and overlooking the water. The
American offers watercolors (landscapes and seascapes) but
especially the views of canals and houses of Bruges realized
first in pencil and then in silverpoint over which she then
superimposes multiple layers of egg tempera ( she mixes her own
pigments) and finally in oil. If Ellen is not satisfied with a
narrow perspective, she does not hesitate to recommence, redraw,
or expand her work. Her elegant apartment, her paintings, her
personality were not without an evoking a sense of the works of
Fernand Knopf and of course <Bruges-la-morte>.”
