The Belgian artist Andrée Bosquet painted figures, still lifes and flowers in a style that contemporaries described as 'still'. She was a student at the academy in Bergen, but considered herself mostly self-taught. In the 1930s she exhibited, among others, with the artist group 'Nervia', founded in 1928 by Louis Buisseret. What bound the painters of this group was an aversion to excessive avant-garde movements and a preference for figuration, albeit with slightly cubist or expressionist features.
