"De … more Alice de Boton (1906-2010) original signed impasto on board (6 by 12 inches) in likely original frame, (11x17.5 inches)
"De Boton has had numerous exhibits in U.S. museums and galleries and received multiple awards, including the degree of honor from the San Francisco-based Society of Western Artists. She is a member of many art associations, and her encaustic paintings can be found in many private collections in the United States, Mexico and Israel."
Alice de Boton for her artwork, but for 103 years she lived a life as colorful as her paintings. De Boton died Friday, April 10, 2010, at The Bluffs. She was born December 25, 1906, in Jaffa, Palestine - now Israel - to David and Reyna de Boton. Her early life was spent in Palestine and Egypt.In her twenties, Mrs. de Boton decided to go to Paris to study art. There, she switched her degree to what she considered more practical studies, first chemistry and later law. In 1939, she married Jean Robert Bernard. During World War II, Mrs. de Boton and her husband took refuge in unoccupied France.
When the war was over, the couple came to the United States, and Alice was able to renew her passion for art. She founded the Peninsula Arts and Crafts school in San Mateo, California. When Mrs. de Boton's husband retired in 1969, they moved to Ajijic, Mexico -- then Yucca Valley, Calif. -- and finally Tel Aviv and Arrad, in Israel. In 1989, the de Botons came to Columbia to join their daughter.Mrs. de Boton dedicated most of her life to her art. She practiced in several mediums.
"My artwork has been shaped by my immigrant experience," she said, "as well as by my sense of social justice."
Mrs de Boton passed away at 103 in 2010. less
