Marthe Wéry
Appearance
Marthe Wéry (1930–2005) was a Belgian painter.
Wéry was born in Etterbeek in 1930.[1] She studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and at Stanley William Hayter's Atelier 17.[1] Her first solo exhibition was held in 1965 at the Galerie Saint-Laurent.[2] Wéry had an abstract style, and was inspired by minimalism and Wladislaw Strzemiński's Unism.[3] In the 1970s she experimented with monochrome, and returned to using color when her work was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1982.[4] Several solo exhibitions of her work were also held in the 1990s and early 2000s.[1] Her works are held by several museums, and are displayed in the Royal Palace in Brussels.[5]
Wéry died in Brussels in 2005.[4]
