Here is a figure of a woman of commitment and freedom! Here is an artist who knew how to sing the cycle of life to death, without taboo, drawing on nature in all its forms (from Symbolism to Art Nouveau), daring to affirm the power of love as well as that of death. To discover Marguerite Burnat-Provins is to discover a surprisingly contemporary artist and writer, with a polymorphous aesthetic and a desperate quest for freedom. Having drawn from the sources of Symbolism and Art Nouveau, she developed her language as well as her talents as a painter, designer, art teacher, journalist, and even as a lecturer campaigning for the defense of heritage. Thanks to her encounter with the painter Ernest Biéler, she would paint moving portraits of Valaisans. From this contact with the preserved nature and customs of this country, a masterpiece was born in 1903, Petits Tableaux valaisans, a richly illustrated text, archetype of total art. The Book for You will reveal, in 1907, in an ardent language, a passionate lover. The shock of 1914 will give rise to Ma Ville, a gallery of characters drawn in a powerful staging. We must rediscover the eclecticism of his work, the rich encounters woven with the world of letters and arts and his extraordinary temperament
