What is Marie Laurencin famous for?
1 Answer

Marie Laurencin is famous for being an artist. She is best known for her enchanting portraits of women and young girls. The Parisian artist was linked to avant-garde Cubism, yet she endeavored to disassociate herself from the movement. She instead drew on the Impressionist style of Pierre-Auguste Renoir in her paintings and prints and created poetic, sensual images of women in Fauvism’s subdued pastels.
