Born in Chicago, Illinois, Jean Adams was active there as a graphic artist and painter of vividly colored still lifes, landscapes, and cityscapes. Her work reflected a range of styles from fauvist-like canvases to muted precisionism.
She lived in Chicago throughout her career but traveled and painted scenes in Europe, New Mexico, Indiana, Michigan, New York and California. Many of her paintings were inspired by what she saw in Chicago "finding a source for her art in its dynamism and vitality, slaughterhouses, gangland denizens, and political upheavals".
She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and also had an exhibition there as well as at the Carnegie Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the Detroit Museum.

- Marie Laurencin Graphite Drawing, Female PortraitBy Marie LaurencinLocated in Phoenix, AZGraceful original graphite drawing by Marie Laurencin (1885-1956). Signed lower right with initials "M.L."

She lived in the Montmartre district of Paris. Though her early portraits show the imprint of the Fauves and Cubists, her romantic and delicate temperament asserted itself against these schools. Called the 'muse' by her fellow painters, her works are loved for their fragile beauty. Though they may be feminine in subject and execution, the distortion of form and the simplicity of expression mark her for a modern master. In her later years, she became almost a hermit, although mothers with daughters...Category
