A Marie Laurencin exhibition at Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation offers a view into Paris's lesbian scene of the 1920s.
The exhibition, which closes on January 21, is the first major retrospective of Laurencin pastel-hued vision of dreamy womanhood.
Just when we thought we knew the landscape of French art in the first quarter of the 20th century, Marie Laurencin: Sapphic Paris, co-curated by Simonetta Fraquelli and Cindy Kang, shakes up the narrative with a fresh exhibition of a major Parisian painter largely neglected by art history. A bisexual woman (already two reasons for her prior invisibility in that now dated story), Laurencin (18831956) carefully crafted a feminine aesthetic into a significant body of work that was ahead of its time.
