Yvette Alde, 1911- 1967 was a painter, lithographer, illustrator and member of the School of Paris. She studied under renowned instructors Charles Picart Le Doux and André Lhote at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. This classical and modernist training provided Alde with a strong foundation in composition, perspective, and the technical aspects of painting and lithography. Her early works were influenced by Post-Impressionism and Cubism and developed to more Abstract Expressionism in style. Subjects included landscapes, still lifes, and human figures, where bold brushwork and thick, textured application of paint were used. Her style balanced figurative representation with a subtle abstraction. She exhibited both at the Paris Salon and Salon d'Automne. Her works can be found in the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, the Musée Carnavalet, and the Princeton University Art Museum.
In 1949, Alde married fellow artist Max Papart, whose abstract style and experimental techniques influenced aspects of her later work. Together, they exhibited widely and contributed to the vibrancy of contemporary French art. As her career progressed, Alde’s style evolved toward greater abstraction.
