What is Marie Laurencin famous for?
Marie Laurencin is famous for being an artist. She is best known for her enchanting portraits of women and young girls. The Parisian artist was linked to avant-garde Cubism, yet she endeavored to disassociate herself from the movement. She instead drew on the Impressionist style of Pierre-Auguste Renoir in her paintings and prints and created poetic, sensual images of women in Fauvism’s subdued pastels.
