Painter printmaker and stage designer Marie Laurencin 1883-1956 is "known for her delicate portraits of elegant vaguely melancholic women" Britannica. She studied at the Humbert Academy in Paris and after an introduction to Picasso became involved with the avant-garde. Getrude Stein was one of her earliest supporters. She was romantically involved with Apollinaire whose work she here illustrates: a group of poems including "Marie" and "Crépuscule" which is dedicated to her. The recipient Jean Tardieu 1903-1995 published several poetry collections in the 1930s and after the war became a moving force in French radio. A number of his plays were staged and he was linked with the work of the Theatre of the Absurd.
