Marie Laurencin
Artist Marie Laurencin is best known for her enchanting portraits of women and young girls. The Parisian artist was linked to the avant-garde Cubist movement, but she endeavored to disassociate herself from the style as she instead drew on the Impressionist style of Pierre-Auguste Renoir in her paintings and prints, and created poetic, overtly sensual images of women in Fauvism’s subdued pastels at a time when the leagues of male artists around her became famous for making still lifes.
Just as Renoir and other painters began their careers painting pottery in Limoges, Laurencin trained in porcelain painting in the southwestern suburbs of Paris before she studied oil painting at Académie Humbert alongside influential Cubist painter Georges Braque and French designer and painter Francis Picabia. Her circle consisted of widely known and reputable artists including Braque and Pablo Picasso, with whom she exhibited. Her romantic partners were both male and female over the years, and she repeatedly refused marriage proposals from the most famous art dealer at the time, Sir Joseph Duveen, Baronet. Laurencin had a romantic relationship with French poet Guillaume Apollinaire that lasted six years.
Laurencin produced most of her best known work throughout the 1920s. During this era, she worked with art dealer Paul Rosenberg although she frequently ignored his business advice. Known to only paint children she liked, Laurencin also charged men twice that of women, as well as brunettes more than blondes, and offered discounts for works she enjoyed doing and steeper prices for those she cared less for.
Laurencin’s work increasingly attracted attention over time — she had more than ten solo exhibitions in 1939 alone and was commissioned for portraits by the likes of Jean Cocteau and Coco Chanel. (Revered fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld — who consistently displayed a knack for synthesizing old and new, high and low — drew on the work of Laurencin in his Spring/Summer 2011 collection for Chanel.)
Laurencin’s six illustrations of "Alice" in a 1930 edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland comprise a small sample of the art she made that is held in the public collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Her works are also held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d’Orsay and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. In 1983, a museum opened in her honor — the Musée Marie Laurencin in Nagano, Japan. At the time, it was the only museum in the world to focus solely on a female painter.

- Large Animal Wall Sculpture: 'Wormhole'By Gin StoneLocated in New York, NY'I am a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on ecofeminism using fiber and mixed media constructions. My materials include hand-dyed commercially fished line and ghost gear, recycled and antique textiles, fabric printed with cyanotype emulsions and found objects. I change the existing surface of recognizable animals by creating a veneer of unexpected color and imagery. This forces the viewer to consider the shape more carefully by visually exploring its new topography. The creation process can be likened to painting with fiber (that has been tinted with hand-mixed dyes) on a three-dimensional canvas. Intense work is spent creating the eyes and ears to convey the emotion of each animal. I look to the work of Joan Mitchell and The Quilters of Gee’s Bend as inspiration for pattern and color, as well as charts, iconography, and satellite imaging.' -Gin Stone...Category
