SYNOPSIS

Jeannine Guillou was the first companion of the French painter Nicolas de Staël, having met him in Marrakesh in 1937. “Portraits of Jeannine” portrays the life and work of a passionate, independent woman and a painter in her own right. The film draws from Jeannine's own writings and the accounts of her daughter Anne de Staël to present an intimate portrait of a forgotten artist. It pays homage to an unjustly overlooked body of work that has yet to be discovered.
