Marie Laurencin
Revealing the vital influence of the French artist Marie Laurencin, her visual idiom, and her sexual expression on the modernism of twentieth-century Paris This book offers a long-overdue reassessment of the career of the Parisian-born artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956), who moved seamlessly between the Cubist avant-garde and lesbian literary and artistic circles, as well as the realms fashion, ballet, and decorative arts.

Marie Laurencin
Until now Marie Laurencin has attracted only sporadic attention by late-twentieth century art historians, in spite of the noticeable reputation she made in Paris in the first half of the twentieth century. The substance of her art and the feminist issues that were entangled in her life have been only narrowly examined, and the terms of her lesbian identity have been overlooked.

Incorporating feminist theory and building on the work of contemporary feminist art historians, she avoids the heroics of conventional biography, instead allowing her subject to participate in the historical collective of women's work. Provocative and engagingly written, this fresh new study of Marie Laurencin's life and works also explores the multiple valences by which to connect the histories of, and find new connections between, women artists across the twentieth century.
