BIOGRAPHY:
Lucienne Julia Francoise Neufcoeur was born on January 7, 1914 in Makiivka (Russia).Her mother, Marie Falckenberg, of French nationality from Saverne in Alsace. His father, Alexis Neufcoeur, a bon vivant originally from Dour in Belgium, after a few years of tumultuous life, also had the possibility, at the age of 24, to the great relief of his parents, to emigrate thanks to the brother of the maternal grandmother of his future wife who worked as a chief accountant in Makiivka Mines. This is how he embarked in 1899, almost reaching the shores of the Sea of ‹Azov. In 6 months, he was able to perfect his knowledge of chemistry acquired at the Industrial School of Dour and learn Russian, then was initially appointed Chemist at the Makiivka Mines taking command of the coke ovens with nearly 300 workers. He later became responsible for the accounting and financial services of this company, which would merge with a neighboring company and expand to reach 19,000 workers.Marie Falckenberg and Alexis Neufcoeur met in Makiivka. If Marie pleased Alexis, the reverse was not true and she refused her marriage proposal.Alexis consequently marries a little later a Russian woman of whom he will have two daughters but he will lose them all due to illness.After this tragic episode, he renews his marriage proposal to Marie Falckenberg, who reconsiders her decision and they get married in November 1910. Their wedding took place in a hotel in Taganrog and was followed by a honeymoon trip to Crimea.Their first daughter Fernande was born in November 1911 then their second daughter Lucienne was born in January 1914.Lucienne and her sister spent a pleasant and golden youth in Makiivka and did not have to suffer in the 14-18 war. But, from November 1917 to April 1918, the family experienced the worst dangers (excavations, searches, bombardment, etc.) fleeing the Bolshevik revolution from one city to another. On an immense journey for the time, she evacuated Russia in April 1918 via Murmansk and finally arrived in Geneva where Marie's parents resided after they left Russia.Alexis Neufcoeur was ruined by the loss of all his investments - mainly mining - representing nearly 20 years of work. After Geneva, was Paris and then Belgium - where Lucienne's father works temporarily for an import-export company before returning to work and settled In Riga in Latvia in the hope of a reopening of Russia and the recovery of his property.Lucienne started to be interested in things of art and carried out artistic studies during the years spent in Riga where she met her future husband Jean. Back in Belgium, Lucienne gave birth in December 1933 to her daughter Aniouta. Her son Georges was born in March 1937.During II World War her husband Jean was fighting against Nazi's.After tragic car incidend involving her husband she decided to get fully involved in her art and to do this hired a workshop, Rue Sans-Souci from 1961. Painting became for her a full-time job. She practiced a variety styles, but her main works are inspired by his trip to Mexico a few years earlier. From 1965, she will rent a very pleasant workshop in Rue du Croissant in Forest where she will continue to strengthen the mastery of her art. This workshop is bright and very welcoming, occupied in its center by a small charcoal stove which provides pleasant warmth and allows cooking.In 1966, Lucienne Verag became a Member of the Association of Professional Artists of Belgium and she nevertheless exhibited her works about twenty times (including 5 solo exhibitions) during this period from 1965 to 1968.After the death of her husband, Lucienne will move to the duplex apartment where she had a bright studio on the top floor of the building, a workshop which saw her carry out most of her work and reached the peak of her art between 1968 and 1994.From 1971 Lucienne Verag was honored with several awards.In 1984, Lucienne Verag suffered a stroke in her apartment. It is believed that her dog Eleonore must have been partially responsible for her survival since she had to stimulate her to remain conscious, to react and finally to answer the phone, which allowed her son Georges who was calling her to realize that something was wrong. Lucienne was hospitalized. She was partially paralyzed, had lost her memory and did not recognize her relatives who were very worried. But the care she received allowed her to fully recover within a few weeks. She miraculously recovered all her physical and mental capacities, resumed painting and drove her car without problems after 3 months.In terms of her painting considerable differences were observed after that event: the colors used were more luminous and the materials are worked more summarily. There is clearly a before and after 1984 in her work.Lucienne Verag had her last exhibition in Brussels at the Galerie Albert Premier in February/March 1994.Three months later she died in Brussels on July 2, 1994.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
Any of the following conditions of sale may be amended, waived, or modified in the sole discretion of Broward Auction Gallery. By placing a bid, whether present in the saleroom or by any other means, the buyer (bidder, purchaser) agrees to be bound by the following conditions of sale:

1) All property is sold in "as is" condition and all sales are final. Neither Broward Auction Gallery nor their consignor(s) makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the property or the correctness of the catalogue or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, age, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the property or otherwise. The Auctioneer and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any property identified in the online catalogue (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein).
If any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose can be construed from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are disclaimed by the Auctioneer and the Consignor. No statement in the online catalogue or made at the sale or in the Bill of Sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an admission of liability. Moreover, the Auctioneer will not be held responsible for any variations in appearance of online photographs.
ANTIQUES: Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description.
Broward Auction Gallery shall not be responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses on behalf of purchaser and no sale shall be cancelled or refunded for lack of purchaser's noncompliance with permitting and licensing issues.

2) Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within 14 days of the sale of any lot the purchaser of any painting gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within 7 days after such notice the purchaser returns to the Auctioneer in the same condition as when sold, and gives written proof from a recognized impartial expert which establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalogue or the Auctioneer's comments at the time of sale, the Auctioneer as agent for the Consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price.

3) The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid and shall advance the bid at his/her sole discretion.
