Marie Vassilieff (Russian 1884-1957)
Vassilieff was an important female painter of the Ecole de Paris. She is remembered for her colourful cubist style which was adopted by scores of pupils at her Académie Vassilieff, a popular rendez-vous for the most progressive literary and artistic personages in the city. Braque, Picasso, Matisse, Léger, Modigliani, Salmon and Jacob were all habitués.
