Marie Laurencin: An Eye for Her Time

Marie Laurencin (1883-1956) was a female painter active in the first half of the twentieth century. She studied at the Académie Humbert and then began her career as a Cubist painter. In 1914, she married a German baron and automatically acquired German citizenship. Thus, when World War I began, she was compelled to seek asylum outside of France. In 1920, she chose divorce. Returning to Paris, she achieved success at a solo exhibition in 1921. She lived almost entirely in Paris, even after the outbreak of World War II, and continued creating there until her death, at seventy-three, in 1956. This exhibition introduces Laurencin’s oeuvre in terms of several themes, and, comparing her work with that of other painters with whom she is related, explores the fascinating nature of her paintings.
