Biography

Jeanne-Marie Barbey was born at 51 rue de Charonne in Paris She was the fourth and last child of François Marie Barbée (born in 1832), cabinetmaker newly arrived from Carhaix (in Brittany) where he was born, and his wife Catherine Dupont (born in 1835), originally from Gourin (Morbihan in Brittany). Jeanne-Marie's three brothers were Louis (1863-1939), a teacher in Paris, François (ca. 1865-1894) and Auguste (1868-1931), also a teacher after 1901.[1]

Jeanne-Marie Barbey wanted to become a drawing teacher and in 1895 successfully passed the first degree of the high school and college diploma, then the second degree. In 1896, she received the diploma of the superior primary schools and that of the normal schools, then in 1907, the diploma of the schools of the city of Paris.[2][3]

A friend of Anatole Le Braz, "the Bard of Brittany," Barbey spoke Breton and was interested in Brittany and its traditions. In September 1904, she attended the seventh congress of the Breton Regionalist Union in Gourin. A fervent Catholic, she regarded Father Jean Guichard as her director of conscience.[4] She became a member of the regionalist Federation of Brittany.[1]

Every year, Barbey spent her holidays with her brother in Gourin. In 1900, she competed in a diploma project organized by the Breton village of the Universal Exhibition in Paris where she signed "Barbey ".

From 1912, she participated in the Salon des Indépendants and she was the first woman to become a member of the committee of the Society of Independent Artists in 1926. Barbey became its secretary and treasurer from 1943 to 1960. Her participation in the committee was the origin of her friendship with Paul Signac, co-founder of this society.
