Parisian-born artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956) moved seamlessly between the cubist avant-garde and lesbian literary and artistic circles, as well as the realm of fashion, ballet, and decorative arts. This book offers a long-overdue reassessment of her career, including her early experiments with cubism; her exile in Spain during World War I; her collaborative projects with major figures such as André Mare, Serge Diaghilev, Francis Poulenc, and André Groult; and her role in the emergence of a "Sapphic modernity" in Paris in the 1920s.
