I want a biography like this woman and I want to paint like this woman. She has always been one of my favorite's. Known as "soft cubism", her portraits have an overpowering sense of seduction and desire. Her style is clean , precise and sensual. She live during my favorite time period and traveled all over the world. She was a bohemian artist in the Roaring 20's in Paris and then lived in L.A. during the 30's and worked with movie stars, famous painters, and writers. She has a great story and I encourage you to read more about her. I couldn't blog about it because it would go on forever. I had a hard enough time as it is getting this down. Damn it.
