Biography

Henriette Tirman was a Post-Impressionist painter, printmaker and illustrator with an association with figures of the Bloomsbury Group.

She was the daughter of doctor Charles-Louis-Henry Tirman and Berte Hanonet de La Grange[http://gw.geneanet.org/pierfit?lang=en;p=henriette;n=tirman Henriette TIRMAN, geneanet.org] and also the niece of Senator Louis Tirman (1837–1899).{{Cite book |last=Wright |first=Vincent |title=Les préfets de Gambetta/Louis Tirman (1837-1899)|publisher=Harper & Row |year=2007 |isbn=978-2-84050-504-4 |page=399}} She lived in the family of her brother, Councillor of State Alexandre-Louis-Albert Tirman (1868-1939) in Paris, 22 rue de l'Yvette.[http://gallica.bnf.fr/searchInPeriodique?arkPress=cb34516138d%2Fdate&spe=Tirman Annuaire des grands cercles (Paris); BnF][http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k432835g/f282.image.r=Tirman.langEN Annuaire de la curiosité et des beaux-arts : Paris, départements, étranger 1911-1924], BnF

Her art was influenced by Cézanne. She painted in a manner that respected Cézanne's ideas of logical composition, simple tonality, solidity of volume, and distinct separation of planes. While Matisse represented the reflective and rationalized aspects in the group, Tirman embodied a more spontaneous and instinctive style.

The painter exhibited at the Salon de Champs-Élysées starting in 1897.[http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6139352t/f28.image.r=Tirman.langEN Salon de Champs-Élysées 1897, BnF][http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k61393537/f32.image.r=Tirman%20Henriette.langEN Salon de Champs-Élysées 1897, It is corrected; BnF]
