October Artist of the Month: Marie Laurencin

Marie Laurencin 1912

Can you believe it’s October already?? Our tenth Artist of the Month this year is French artist Marie Laurencin. One of the few female Cubist painters (though she didn’t like to be seen as such), she spent most of her life in Paris at the forefront of the avant-garde movement. She used a limited palette of grey, pink, and pastels, allowing her to create Cubist work that was almost otherworldly. How fitting for an artist that was born on Halloween!
