Marie Laurencin (french 1883-1956)
Marie Laurencin was a unique female painter who, though baptized in the artistic movement that would change the very currents of early twentieth century art, such as Fauvism and cubism, went on to develop her own distinctive aesthetic world. She went on to adopt the pale colours and clean form that characterize her works, many of which feature female forms, and carve out an important place among the many talents of the Paris school.
