1906
Mig Quinet was born on 3 June 1906 in Ransart (Charleroi) and moved to Brussels at the age of 4. Trained in drawing at the Brussels Académie des Beaux, she taught herself painting. At the start, Quinet was interested in the modernist movements of the 1920s.

1936-1949
From 1936 and regularly up to 1949, she held solo shows of her figurative work at the Galerie Manteau in Brussels. Despite her status as a woman that kept her in the shadows, critics praised the audacity of her palette, which was inspired at the time by Fauvism. Quinet then showed at the Apport salon and in August 1946, with other artists, she founded the emancipating post-war group, La Jeune Peinture Belge. She participated in all of the group’s exhibitions, in Belgium and abroad. Quinet was also openly committed to abstract painting that reveals a poetry stemming from reality.

1953-1967
From 1953 to 1967, the Brussels Palais des Beaux-Arts organized a total of six exhibitions of Mig Quinet, presenting her as the artist who had profoundly marked the Jeune Peinture Belge movement.

1979
Mig Quinet’s talent for drawing was finally revealed at an exhibition in the Galerie Armorial in Brussels.

2001
Death of Mig Quinet.
Passing through the figurative periods of Cubism, Fauvism, then Geometric and Lyrical Abstraction and Pop Art, the Belgian artist Mig Quinet was widely hailed for her originality, her boundless creativity and the pioneering nature of her work in the history of art. A feminist and member of the avant-garde, in abstraction and figuration she was always faithful to a passionate and very personal form of interpretation.
