Biography of Dina Verny

Dina Aibinder, later known as Dina Verny, was born on January 25, , in a Jewish family in Kishinev. In , her family moved to Paris. At the age of 15, Dina caught the attention of architect Jean-Claude Dondel, a friend of her father, who believed she would make an excellent model for the French sculptor and painter Aristide Maillol. Maillol, then 73 years old and suffering from creative depression, became inspired again with Dina as his muse. Renowned artists such as Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard attributed Maillol's newfound inspiration to Dina's presence in his life.

In , as World War II approached, Maillol sought refuge in his home in the foothills of the Eastern Pyrenees in the south of France. At the same time, Dina actively participated in the French Resistance and began collaborating with a group led by American journalist Varien Fray, helping refugees escape from occupied France to Spain. Without Maillol's knowledge, Dina acted as a guide, putting herself at great risk as a Jewish woman. Her father was among those Jews wh

William Grimes has authored an obituary in The New York Times--"Dina Vierny, Artist's Muse, Dies at 89"--that is a fascinating read. Vierney died in Paris on January 20th. I wouldn't have thought much about the headline had I not written about Vierney a month ago on this blog ("Artists' Models"). That post had been inspired by an interview she did with NPR. Vierney was one of the great artists' models of the 20th century. She posed for the painters Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy, and Pierre Bonnard, but she was the muse for sculptor Aristide Maillol, helping to rejuvenate his career and working hard to promote his reputation after his death. In , she opened the Musée Maillol in Paris. The picture here is a public sculpture by him entitled The Mountainfor which she posed (the image is from the NYTwebsite, courtesy of Vierney's estate). Her life story is quite interesting, especially the fact that she was part of the French Resistance during World War II and was arrested more than once for her activities. Her biography would make a great movie. They should get the fabulous Audrey Tatou(Amélie, Dirty Pretty Things) to play her, although she probably would have to gain some wei
