Surely, a youthful artist could get no more damaging criticism of his world than did Marie Laurencin from one of her teachers: "You had better spend your time studying the mandolin."

Born on 31 October 1883 in Paris, the young Marie is sent to Sèvres in 1901 by her mother, where she gets familiar with porcelain painting.
Being friends with the latter, she soon meets Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire, who support her from this time on and integrate her into the discussions about art theory, which will soon lead to cubism.

This comparison between Gertrude Stein and Marie Laurencin (Stein was Laurencin’s close friend as well as patron), provides important insight into the placement of women artists and writers within the context of modernism.
Negotiating the complexities of a female genius in different ways—Stein the stereotype of the male genius, Laurencin the female sensibility—Stein insisted forcefully upon her own genius, while Laurencin refused to be assessed according to the male modernist conception of genius.

 La Joueuse de Flute. The Flute Player. by Marie Laurencin, 1885-1956
The imagery is a perfect expression of the symbolism and poetic imagination which filled her very early works, and drew her into her liaison with Guillaume Apollinaire and her involvement in the Bateau Lavoir circle.
The orange tree laden with fruit, the rhythmic lines of the background arches so much like a stage set, the pipe, the suggestion of the music and the swirl of the cloak around the nude figures create an atmosphere of highly charged emotion.
It was drawn in 1904, three years before she joined the Bateau Lavoir group in Montmartre, and it underlines how much this early poeticism in her image-making was a product of her own spirit.
