Published in association Columbus Museum of Art<\/p>\n<p>This book offers a long-overdue reassessment of the career of the Parisian-born artist <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marie_Laurencin\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marie Laurencin <\/a>(1883\u20131956), who moved seamlessly between the Cubist avant-garde and lesbian literary and artistic circles, as well as the realms fashion, ballet, and decorative arts. Critical essays explore her early experiments with Cubism; her exile in Spain during World War I; her collaborative projects with major figures of her time such as Andr\u00e9 Mare, Serge Diaghilev, Francis Poulenc, and Andr\u00e9 Groult; and her role in the emergence of a \u201cSapphic modernity\u201d in Paris in the 1920s. Along with more than 60 full-color plates, Laurencin\u2019s life and career are documented through an illustrated chronology and exhibition history, as well as an appendix charting her network of female patrons and associates. Laurencin became a fixture of the contemporary art scene in pre\u2013World War I Paris, including as a muse and romantic partner of the poet Guillaume Apollinaire. She returned to the city after the war, having developed her signature style of diaphanous female figures in a blue-rose-gray palette. Laurencin\u2019s feminine yet sexually fluid aesthetic defined 1920s Paris, and her work as an artist and designer met with high demand, with commissions by Ballets Russes and Coco Chanel, among others. Her romantic relationships with women inspired homoerotic paintings that visualized the modern Sapphism of contemporary lesbian writers like Nathalie Clifford Barney. Indeed, one of Laurencin\u2019s final projects was to illustrate the poems of Sappho in 1950. &#8211; Yale Press, 2024<\/p>\n<p>The book is the catalogue of the exhibition <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbusmuseum.org\/marie-laurencin-sapphic-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marie Laurencin: Sapphic Paris<\/a><\/em> (On view April 5\u2013August 18, 2024) at the Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Ohio, USA.<\/p>\n<p><em>[The copyright of the video above remains with the original holder and it is used here for the purpose of education, comparison and criticism only.]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video (0:20): A quick look inside the artbook: Marie Laurencin: Sapphic Paris, edited by Simonetta Fraquelli and Cindy Kang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27500,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1704,3,16,1521,19],"tags":[673],"class_list":["post-27499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-20-century-artists","category-art-book","category-lesbian-art","category-midwestern-united-states","category-painting","tag-marie-laurencin"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
