Dominique de Menil
Dominique de Menil (March 23, 1908 – December 31, 1997) was a French-American art collector, philanthropist, founder of the Menil Collection and an heiress to the Schlumberger Limited oil-equipment fortune.〔Helfenstein, Josef, and Laureen Schipsi. ''Art and Activism: Projects of John and Dominique de Menil''. Houston: The Menil Collection, 2010. ISBN 0-300-12377-9〕 She was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1986.〔(Lifetime Honors - National Medal of Arts ) Retrieved May 17, 2010.〕
==Early life==
Dominique de Menil was born Dominique Isaline Zelia Henriette Clarisse Schlumberger, the daughter of Conrad and Louise Delpech Schlumberger. She studied physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne and developed an interest in filmmaking, which took her to Berlin to serve as script assistant on the Josef von Sternberg production of ''The Blue Angel''.〔 She also published articles on film technology in the French journal ''La revue du cinéma.''〔Schlumberger, Dominique. “Les divers procédés du film parlant." ''Le revue du cinéma'' 2, no. 9 (April 1930): 43–52.〕
In 1930 she met the banker Jean de Menil (who later anglicized his name to John), and they were married the next year. Raised a Protestant, Dominique converted to Roman Catholicism in 1932. The de Menils' Catholic faith, especially their interest in Father Yves Marie Joseph Congar's teachings on ecumenism, would become crucial to the development of their collecting ethos in the coming decades.〔 They had five children: Marie-Christophe (who was married to Robert Thurman and the grandmother of artist Dash Snow), Adelaide (a photographer who is married to anthropologist Edmund Snow Carpenter), George de Menil (an economist), François (a filmmaker and architect), and Philippa (co-founder of the Dia Art Foundation).〔Glueck, Grace. (“The de Menil Family: The Medici of Modern Art.” ) ''New York Times Magazine'', May 18, 1986: 28–46, 66, 106, 113.〕
Following the outbreak of World War II and the Nazi occupation of France, the de Menils emigrated from Paris to the United States of America. They maintained residences in New York and France but settled in Houston, where John would eventually become president of Schlumberger Overseas (Middle and Far East) and Schlumberger Surenco (Latin America), two branches of the Houston-based oilfield services corporation.〔
