Yvonne Jammet (1900–1967)
Born in Paris to restaurateur parents, Yvonne Jammet studied art at the Académie Julian and the Atelier Jean-Paul Laurens. In 1928, she moved to Dublin with her husband Louis Jammet, who took over his father's renowned French restaurant on Nassau Street. Jammet’s became the finest of its kind in Ireland, frequented by writers, artists, and politicians.
Yvonne quickly became active in Dublin’s art scene. She joined the White Stag Group, Ireland’s leading avant-garde collective of the 1940s, and helped redesign the restaurant’s décor with architect and fellow member Noel Moffet.
She exhibited portraits, still lifes, and landscapes at Victor Waddington’s Gallery in 1943, and also showed work in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art and White Stag exhibitions.
A skilled wood carver, she created and donated Stations of the Cross to St Michael’s Church in Dún Laoghaire after its 1965 fire.
Yvonne and Louis lived at Kill Abbey House near Blackrock, originally built c.1592 by Dublin merchant George Ussher. Yvonne died unexpectedly while visiting the U.S. in August 1967.
