Extract from the Barnes Foundation website:
Beginning in the early 20th century, French artist Marie Laurencin (1883–1956) created a unique pictorial world that placed women at the
center of modern art. With a highly original painting style that defied categorization, she moved seamlessly between the male-dominated
cubist avant-garde, lesbian literary and artistic circles, and the realms of fashion, ballet, and decorative arts.

On view in the Roberts Gallery, this exhibition explores Laurencin’s career, from her self-portraits to her collaborative decorative
projects; from her early cubist paintings to her signature work—feminine and discreetly queer—that defined 1920s Paris. Presenting more than
50 works by Laurencin, it examines how her visualization of a “sapphic modernity” subtly but radically challenges existing narratives of
modern European art.
