Visual artist Josee Nadeau, who called Park City home for 10 years, is on a new adventure. The now part-time Parkite, known for being a protégé of Gerald Van der Kemp, the curator-in-chief of Louis XIV’s palace at Versailles and the man known for having kept the Mona Lisa from the Nazis during World War II, recently showed her rendition of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece at a Miami art show that closed on Dec. 8. At Art Basel Miami, leading galleries from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa show work from the masters of modern and contemporary art, as well as works by a generation of emerging stars. “The whole town turns into an art mecca,” Nadeau said. “It’s one of the biggest art fairs in the United States, and this particular one takes place on the beach.” Nadeau decided to show her Mona Lisa, which she painted during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Waterkeeper Alliance benefit in 2013, because of her connection with the original da Vinci work. “I wanted to do it because of Van der Kemp,” she said. “But I also wanted to show it because I think every artist has their own creations of the Mona Lisa.” Nadeau took some liberties with her version, using a lighter, more colorful palette that included hot pinks, oranges, reds and blues. “I chose these colors because they bring out the Romanticism of the model and create a version for our times,” she said. “I mean, there are a lot of peo- PARK CITY LIBRARY HOLIDAY HOURS Park City Library, 1255 Park Ave., will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 24, and closed on Wednesday, Dec. 25.

It’s been an honor and rewarding to be part of it.” Her works were well-received by a lot of different age groups and cultures, Nadeau said. “It was fun to show the painting publicly, and to see which audience it attracted,” she said about the “Mona Lisa.” There are three different types of people who attend these shows, according to Nadeau. “You have the serious buyers and people from the art industry,” she said. “Then you also have those people who just want to see the art that is being shown.” One of the viewers was Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Kweku, whom Nadeau met during the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. The two strengthened their friendship when she painted during the Footsteps of Mandela event later that year. The music and art festival held in New York raises money for the United Nations and Simon Estes Foundation’s Nothing but Nets program.
