Femmes au Chein
This is oil painting by Laurencin demonstrates her unique style of light pastels that were said to give her paintings a real feminine feeling to the painting. The dark background gives the women and the dogs the focus while still allowing the viewer’s eyes to move throughout the rest of the painting.
Laurencin got an education in porcelain painting, but her unique style that was different than the normal art movement of the time made her a popular portrait artist. -
Tribute to Montparnasse Friends
This is a painting by Marie “Marevna” Vorobieff. The center man of the portrait is the focal point with his white shirt that stands out against browns and neutral colors of the people around him. All the people in the painting are pleasing to look at because Vorobieff used the golden ratio and cubism in her paintings. Those most of the tones are brown, red, and grey, there is something that is beautiful about the way the painting flows. The geometric shapes that make is visually pleasing.
