context_page_description: Hubertine Heijermans is a figurative painter, a multi-plate etching artist, Swiss printmaker and engraver, living in Canton de Vaud, Switzerland since 1958.
context_section_description: Exhibits in Florence (Italy) took place in 1969, 1970 and 1972 and in Switzerland from 1973–2008, after she settled in the Commune of Ollon. She exhibited in Aigle, Lausanne, Montreux, Fribourg, Sion, Porrentruy and in Aubonne near Lausanne. In 1994 Heijermans showed hundreds of oil paintings, watercolors and etchings in Singapore. Other exhibits were held in The Netherlands, in the Scheveningen (1964), Delft (1970), Amsterdam (1982) and Leiden (1983). The Musée Jenisch in Vevey now keeps 50 etchings, lithos and héliogravures, since recent work was added in 2007. The museum for photography Musée de l'Élysée in Lausanne conserves 45 photo-etchings since Charles-Henri Favrod in 1993 made a choice of her héliogravures as dust grain photogravures are called in French. In fact she mastered photogravure and multi-plate color etching when working in Studio Luis Camnitzer in Valdottavo, Italy, with David Finkbeiner from Pratt's Institute in New York. This technic is strenuous and difficult, including many detailed manipulations and only printing studios like hers or the one of Sarto in St.Prex create outstanding prints. The Dutch Museum van Bommel van Dam keeps 23 etchings and lithographies printed by herself on her own manually driven press since 1978, accepted after a vote of the Municipality of the town of Venlo. Her graphic work can also be found at the Dominican University, Illinois. In July 2012 the Musée historique du Chablais in the Château de la Porte du Scex added 2 oilpaintings to their collection of etchings, lithos, héliogravures and woodcuts they already conserved, to the 80 artistproofs and handprinted originals executed by Heijermans. From 26 April until 28 October the Musée historique du Chablais in Vouvry organized 2 exhibits showing the history of the region, where the artist lives and works. For that reason her etchings, watercolors and oilpaintings, depicting sites of the region called 'Les Ormonts' or the plain where the Rhône river joins the Lake of Geneva, were on display and accompanied a show of the history of health resorts and hotels. In 2014 a coveted award was given her by the Municipality of her Commune, the 'Mérite Boyard 2013' which included a bronze sculpture by André Raboud and an amount of money to cover the expenses for colors in the best quality of oilpaint and make it possible to acquire good Flemish linen, in a variety of texture adapted to the particular need of an artist-painter.
