Marie Yvonne Mondin was a French painter and printmaker born in Condom (Gers) on 22 December 1888 and died in Paris on 13 December 1967. She exhibited regularly between 1924 and 1960 at the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Independants, and had her studio in Montparnasse. Married in 1926 to the Swiss painter and engraver Kurt Oskar Manz (1900-1989), her work includes mainly landscapes, still lifes and portraits. A very restless artist, her pictorial style ranged from post-impressionism to expressionism, passing through naïf in her last period. She collaborated with her husband in the creation of numerous lithographs and engravings.
