Met the paintings of Marie Laurencin in Orangerie, and claimed to be much inspired by Picasso, she demonstrated indeed a very stylish drawing on human portraits and colouring...her pastels were light and beautifully contrasted, and her style from the current view actually resembles a lot the Japanese comic work, or I would say, there is quite a dose of Japanese painting sketch found on her paintings. Her work appears like the fallen leaves, and this is intrinsic. Apparently her focus was on feminine figures. I like quite a lot her portrait on Coco. A slight touch of bitterness under an elegant post. Perhaps because of the similarity with the Japanese style, the only scaleable museum on her work is found in Japan at present.
