OAAdL AvAOAAAAAAAO . Great People
Rosa Bonheur-Care Life and Lore for Art.
BY ALICE ALDEN

TT WAS a great moment for the
modest Rosa Bonheur. when her
father permitted her 10 abandon her
work as a dressmaker for the work
that was nearest her heart. painting.
Bonheur. pere. also a painter, bad
taught his daughter TO draw, but the
n~xigencies OF poverty forced Rosa 70
contribute 10 the family c~Xchequer.
PERHAPS Rosa Bonheur's greatest
moment came when the Empress
Eugene drove over 20 her home and
pinned on her the insignia Of the or
der OF the Legion Of Honor. Bon
heur was the second woman 70 have
ever been thus signally decorated.
Rosa Bonheur. perhaps the great
est painter OF animals the world a
ever known. was born at Bordeaux
in 1922 of Jewish parentage. She
was the eldest OF four children-al
artists. Although Rosa loved 70
draw and sketch she was appren-
ticed 10 a seamstress. But her HANDS
were not eager for the needle. her
fine fingers were aching for pencil
and brush. All her spare moments
were spent in her fathers studio,
which was stacked with pictures that
he was unable TO sell. The girl
painted everything. but soon showed
an inordinate love for d~elineating
animals.
II was IN 1870 that Rosa Bonheur
first exhibited at the Salon. For five
consecutive years she exhibited and
each year received a prize. Dressed
in the attire OF a man, she roamed
the slaughter houses Of Paris for
her animal studies. She became
talked about. and II surprised no one
when in lS4S. a medal was awarded
her by the salon. In 1855 there was
an exhibition OF Bonheur's works
and from that time on collectors
sourht her paintings.
