Kees van Dongen had no formal training, but his distinctive style earned him a place amongst the most fashionable artists of his generation. He was particularly famous in Paris during the 1920s and ’30s and was best known for depicting the modern woman. At the beginning of his career, van Dongen painted dancers and cabaret girls. Eventually, he moved to a studio, where he would host parties and balls and painted society women.
