Exposition "Les ateliers de Janebé"

From March 28 to June 27, 2026, the Fondation Ateliers d'Artiste presents Les ateliers de Janebé, an exhibition devoted to Jeanne Barraud-Pellet, known as Janebé, a singular figure on the 20th-century art scene in French-speaking Switzerland.Self-taught, deeply attached to the rural world and to the observation of everyday life, Janebé created a body of work that was free, demanding and faithful to her vision. The various studios she occupied over the course of her life - in Areuse, Cortaillod, Boudry and Bevaix - structure the exhibition route and provide anchor points for understanding the evolution of her painting, her choice of subjects, and her relationship with light and matter.Through a selection of paintings, drawings and documents from the Foundation's collection, the exhibition retraces almost sixty years of creation, highlighting a career marked by independence, perseverance and a commitment to the recognition of women artists in Switzerland. Lectures and guided tours will punctuate the exhibition. Programme to follow.
