French artist Beatrice Dreux worked in the traditional medium of painting. Rather than respond to her immediate surroundings, Dreux's work, which utilized representational imagery, stemmed from her understanding of the paintings of such classical masters as Veronese, Chardin, Boucher, and Gericault. Her large-scale, expressionist paintings employed a vivid palette and included self-portraits, the nude female body, portraits, and animals.
