The Foundation\u2019s collection of works by Marianne D\u00e9costerd consists mainly of her engravings printed on the presses of the Atelier de Saint-Prex. In 2004, 292 additional works were added to this collection. After her death, the Fondation William Cuendet & Atelier de Saint-Prex<\/strong> acquired some of the artist’s drawings. In 2020, in memory of his wife, Pierre Schopfer<\/a> donated to the Foundation a further 144 prints and drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Born in Lausanne in 1943, the graphic artist and draughtswoman Marianne D\u00e9costerd studied from 1959 to 1963 at her hometown\u2019s \u00c9cole cantonale des Beaux-Arts, where she was a pupil of Albert-Edgar Yersin<\/a>, before studying at the Akademie der Bildenden K\u00fcnste in Munich from 1962 to 1965. Together with Yersin and other artists who were passionate about printmaking, including Pietro Sarto<\/a>, she co-founded the group L’\u00c9preuve<\/em>, with whom she participated in numerous exhibitions. After the founding of the Atelier de Saint-Prex in 1971, she became one of its most active members, collaborating regularly with Sarto and Edmond Quinche<\/a>. The portraits she made during this period bear witness to the camaraderie of the Atelier. From the outset, D\u00e9costerd’s love of experimentation distinguished her work as a printmaker. She implemented a great variety of techniques, including burin, intaglio, aquatint, etching and lithography, and she often combined these with one another while simultaneously printing in different colors and on different types of paper. Her etchings, created with a characteristic speed and ease, often focus on a precise element of her subject, revealing an intense and sensitive eye. She won numerous prizes and three federal art scholarships, and her work has been exhibited at the Entracte Gallery (Lausanne), the Arts et Lettres Gallery (Vevey) and the Ch\u00e2teau d’Avenches Gallery. Her extant oeuvre, almost all of which is kept at the Fondation William Cuendet & Atelier in Saint-Prex<\/strong>, consists mainly of portraits (especially of her husband, the engraver Pierre Schopfer) and self-portraits, but also includes landscapes\u2014especially those of Brittany, where the artist often stayed. She also illustrated a number of books. In November 2017, a year before the artist’s death, the Pavillon de l’Estampe at the Mus\u00e9e Jenisch Vevey was inaugurated with an exhibition<\/a> of works by D\u00e9costerd, Ilse Lierhammer, and Susan Litsios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1153,"template":"","class_list":["post-2034","artistes","type-artistes","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nD\u00e9costerd - Fondation William Cuendet\u2028& Atelier Saint-Prex<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fondationcuendet.ch\/en\/artistes\/decosterd\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"D\u00e9costerd - Fondation William Cuendet\u2028& Atelier Saint-Prex\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Foundation\u2019s collection of works by Marianne D\u00e9costerd consists mainly of her engravings printed on the presses of the Atelier de Saint-Prex.
