DUFAU, CLEMENTINE HELENE. Awards from the Salon, Bashkirtseff prize, 1895; medal third class, 1897; travelling purse, 1898; medal second class, 1902; Hors Concours; silver medal, Paris Exposition, 1900.  Picture in the Luxembourg, 1902.  Member of the Societe des Artistes Francais and of the Societa Heleno Latina, Rome.  Born at Quinsac (Gironde).

Studies made at Julian Academy, under Bouguereau and Robert-Fleury.  Mlle. Dufau calls her works illustrations and posters, and gives the following as the principal examples: 

“Fils des Mariniers,” in Museum of Cognac; “Rhythme,” “Dryades,” “Automne,” a study, Manzi collection; “Espagne,” “Ete,” Behourd collection; “Automne,” Gallery of the Luxembourg.  The latter is a decorative work of rare interest.  At the Salon of 1903 Mlle. Dufau exhibited two works—­“La grande Voix” and “Une Partie de Pelotte, au Pays basque.”  The latter was purchased by the Government, and will be hung in the Luxembourg.

DUHEM, MARIE. Officer of the Academy, 1895; member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts; medal at the Paris Exposition, 1900; diploma of honor at Exposition of Women Artists, London, 1900.  Born at Guemps (Pas-de-Calais).  Has had no masters, has studied and worked by herself.

Her pictures are in several museums:  “The Communicants,” at Cambrai; “Easter Eve,” at Calais; “Death of a White Sister,” at Arras, etc.  The picture of St. Francis of Assisi was exhibited at the Salon of the Beaux-Arts, 1903.  The saint, with a large aureole, is standing in the midst of a desolate landscape; his left hand raised, as if speaking—­perhaps to some living thing, though nothing is revealed in the reproduction in the illustrated catalogue of the Salon.

The other exhibits by Mme. Duhem are flower pictures—­jonquils and oranges, chrysanthemums and roses.  In 1902 she exhibited “The House with Laurels” in water-colors, and in oils “The High Road” and “The Orison.”  The first is a scene at nightfall and is rendered with great delicacy and refinement.
