Eliane Rosso is a French painter, engraver, illustrator and lithographer born in Paris in 1928. Influenced by the quarrel between abstraction and realism that raged in the immediate post-war period, she began to produce work that incorporated the principles of cubism while retaining references to subject and figuration, in the tradition of Jacques Villon. Gradually, she turned to abstraction, deploying a palette of warm colors. She creates a world of thoughtful, structured forms, with rounded contours, combining powerful color contrasts and formal depth. Her works are exhibited at the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Musée de Saint-Etienne and the Musée de Conches (Eure).
