  • Biography

    Monique Cras entered the Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of 22 and became a pupil of Paul-Albert Laurens and Lucien Simon. She exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1926 and many other Salons, in a style close to Cézanne. In 1938, she obtained a grant from the Société Coloniale des Artistes Français to travel to West Africa, and returned with a number of ethnographic portraits and African landscapes, attracting the interest of the French government, which commissioned several works from her.
