| Summary: | A modern artist also associated with tradition, Marie Laurencin was celebrated in the first half of the 20th century for her idealized images of the feminine. Our aim, in this article, is to discuss the meanings of her artwork within two contexts: in Brazil between the 1940s and 1950s, and in interwar France. In both cases Laurencin was acclaimed in an ambiguous way, amidst the historical avant-garde and the essentialist nature associated with the white women she depicted. In the course, we discuss aspects of her work that were overlooked by the concept of a “feminine” art, especially the ideals of race and gender, in relation with political rivalries and nationalist discourses. |
