Karin Parrow (March 4, 1900 - 1984) was a Swedish painter and part of Göteborgskoloristerna. She was one of 13 kids - her big brother being the famous troubadour Evert Taube. Like him she was quite adventurous, and during her studies in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in 1929, she married a sea captain and set off.
Her art consists of colorful and playful landscapes, still lives and portraits, and it hangs at most major Swedish museums.

Martha Stettler (Swiss, 1870-1945)
Together with her partner Alice Dannenberg, she founded the ‘Académie de la Grande Chaumière’ in Paris in 1904, where she later became its head, much to the disdain of Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, who said, “We do not want women here!” He was determined to prevent women having any access to the Swiss professional association of painters and sculptors (GSMBA). Stettler ran the academy successfully in spite of the misogynistic attitudes she was faced with in her work. It was favoured by students because of its easy-going approach to learning, and the school’s alumni included a star-studded cast; Alberto Giacometti, Meret Oppenheim and Louise Bourgeois. Stettler also became the very first and only woman to exhibit her art at the 12th Venice Biennale in 1920. (source)

Beautiful drawings by American artist Beth Van Hoesen (1926 – 2010):
“I always liked drawing and line…one reason is that it is so portable—you can always carry a pencil and paper with you, and once it becomes a habit it is as simple as keeping a diary, only it is a visual one.”
—Beth Van Hoesen
Beth van Hoesen was born in 1926, and studied at Stanford university of Arts, where she got her bachelor degree in 1948.
After that she traveled to France and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Fontainbleau in 1948, and at the Académie Julian and Académie de la Grand Chaumière in Paris. In 1959 she settled with her husband Mark Adams, fellow artist and designer, in San Fransisco. They bought a firehouse from 1910, where they lived the next 46 years. It was known as the Firehouse studio. Beth van Hoesen became a major figure in printmaking during those years.

Amrita Sher-Gil: Three Girls, 1935, via The New York Times: 
Sher-Gil was born in Budapest on Jan. 30, 1913, to the Hungarian-Jewish opera singer Marie Antoinette Gottesmann and Umrao Singh Sher-Gil Majithia, a Sikh aristocrat and a scholar of Persian and Sanskrit. She began taking formal art lessons at age 8, when her family moved to Summer Hill, Shimla, in northern India.
At 16, she moved to Paris and continued studying art, first at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and later at the École des Beaux-Arts. She had early success.
Her 1932 painting Young Girls received a gold medal in 1933 at the Paris Salon, the renowned art show. It depicts her sister, Indira, wearing European clothing and a look of confidence while sitting with a partially undressed friend, Denise Proutaux, whose face is obscured by her hair — one woman bold and daring and another reserved and hidden. The painting reflects the different aspects of Sher-Gil’s personality — outgoing and sociable, as she was known among those who encountered her at Parisian parties, or tucked away and painting vigorously....
Despite being acclaimed for her work, Sher-Gil felt unfulfilled in Paris. She wrote that she was “haunted by an intense longing to return to India, feeling in some strange inexplicable way that there lay my destiny as a painter.”
She went back in 1935, and found the inspiration she needed as she traveled around the country and reconnected with its people.

Laura Wheeler Waring (1887-1948) pintora y educadora estadounidense.
Tumblr media
Nació en Connecticut, y fue la cuarta de los seis hijos del matrimonio formado por Mary (nacida Freeman) y el reverendo Robert Foster Wheeler. Su madre era hija de Amos Noë Freeman, un ministro presbiteriano, y Christiana Williams Freeman, conocida por sus actividades antiesclavistas en el ferrocarril subterráneo en Portland, Maine y Brooklyn, Nueva York.
Se graduó de Hartford Public High School en 1906. Estudió en la Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts en Filadelfia, graduándose en 1914.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
En 1906, comenzó a enseñar a tiempo parcial en Filadelfia, en la Cheyney Training School for Teachers. Allí impartió clases de pintura y música hasta 1914, fecha en la que viajó a Europa.
La ocupación en Cheyney le consumía mucho tiempo, ya que era un internado y a menudo trabajaba por las tardes y los domingos. Esta situación limitó bastante las horas dedicadas a desarrollar su arte; lo que se tradujo en que el período comprendido entre 1906 y 1914 fuera de poca producción pictórica.
Tumblr media
Además, para sacar un dinero extra, dedicó veranos enteros a enseñar dibujo en Harvard y en Columbia. Después de regresar de Europa, continuó trabajando en Cheyne durante más de treinta años. En sus últimos años allí fue directora de los programas de arte.
Tumblr media
En 1914, gracias a la Beca William E. Cresson Memorial de la Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, pudo viajar a Europa, donde estudió en la Academia de la Grande Chaumière en París (Francia) y viajó por Gran Bretaña. Mientras vivía en París, frecuentaba los Jardines de Luxemburgo, lo que favoreció la creación de "Le Parc Du Luxembourg" (1918), óleo sobre lienzo, basado en un boceto que hizo durante una de sus visitas recurrentes.
Tumblr media
La autora también pasó mucho tiempo en el Museo del Louvre estudiando a Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Camille Corot y Paul Cézanne. "Pensé una y otra vez cuán poco se revela la belleza de las imágenes realmente grandiosas en las reproducciones que vemos y con qué libertad y con qué facilidad pintan los grandes maestros".
Tumblr media
Planeó viajar también a Suiza, Italia, Alemania y los Países Bajos, pero su viaje se truncó cuando se declaró la Primera Guerra Mundial. Después de estar en Europa durante tres meses, tuvo que regresar a los Estados Unidos.
El viaje en ese momento tuvo muy poco efecto en su carrera, aunque a la larga resultó de una gran influencia en ella y en su trabajo como artista. Recibir la beca le dio tiempo para evolucionar como artista y, como el premio era muy apreciado, también ganó publicidad.
Tras el final de la guerra, regresó a París en junio de 1924. Su segundo viaje a París fue considerado como un punto de inflexión en su estilo y en su carrera. Ella misma lo describió como el período más motivador para su arte, el "único período ininterrumpido de la vida en el que como artista he gozado de un ambiente y unos compañeros propicios, que fueron un constante estímulo e inspiración".
Durante aproximadamente cuatro meses, vivió en Francia, absorbiendo la cultura y el estilo de vida francés. Comenzó a pintar muchos retratos y en octubre se matriculó en la Académie de la Grande Chaumiére, donde amplió sus conocimientos de pintura. En lugar de tonos pastel suaves, pintó un método más vibrante y realista. Su uso de colores vivos, luz y atmósfera en este trabajo es característico de la personalidad pictórica que estableció después de este viaje a Europa y que continuó a lo largo de su carrera.
Tumblr media
Wheeler se casó con Walter Waring el 23 de junio de 1927. Era de Filadelfia y trabajó en el sistema de escuelas públicas como profesor. Cuando se casaron por primera vez, el dinero era escaso, por lo que retrasaron su luna de miel dos años. En 1929, los recién casados viajaron a Francia, pasando allí más de dos meses. No tuvieron hijos.
Murió en su casa de Filadelfia después de una larga enfermedad.
Un año después, la Galería de Arte de la Universidad de Howard en Washington D. C., realizó una exposición de arte en su honor.
Además de una exposición póstuma en la Universidad Howard en 1949, no se cree que las pinturas de Wheeler hechas en París se hayan exhibido y se desconoce su paradero. Además de pintar, escribió e ilustró una historia corta con su amiga y novelista Jessie Fauset, que la acompañó en este viaje a Francia.

Paritosh Sen
Tumblr media
When the calcutta Group, an artists’ collective of which  Paritosh sen was a founder member, emerged on the Indian visual art scenario, it intended to turn the tide away from the prevailing dominant that was marked, still, by the revivalism of the Bengal school. significantly, in 1953, after a decade of its collective effort, the booklet accompanying their exhibition mentioned: ‘the guiding motto of our Group is best expressed in the slogan “art should be international and inter-dependent”. In other words, our art cannot progress or develop if we always look back to our past glories and cling to our old traditions at all cost. the vast new world of art, rich and infinitely varied, created by Masters the world over in all ages, beckons us’.
It further declared: ‘In the West, kings have long been dethroned and the reins of the state have passed into the hands of the common man. today the artists no longer decorate the baroque palaces of kings or the interior of the chapels but work independently in their studios or decorate the communal buildings. the great french movements in art—Impressionism, cubism, surrealism, etc.—all evolved through this changed ideal in art. such a movement is under way in our country too.’
You should also check -PARITOSH SEN AND THE ART OF HUMOUR IN AN INDEPENDENT NATION
While one might justifiably consider this as a retrospective statement, it nevertheless forms an index to the aims and objectives in the group’s collective practice, and highlights the points of reference for its transforming visual language; it is clearly evident that the adoption from a wide range of options between Impressionism and surrealism was viewed as a springboard that could catapult the artists towards the optimism of universal comprehensibility of their personal visual languages, an attempt to ‘bridge the gap’ brought about by colonial experience.
The experience of the collective remained ingrained, even if subliminally, as its members moved on towards their individual.
TIMELINE
The artist is born on October 18 in dacca (now Dhaka, in Bangladesh).
1936-40 Studies at Government school of art and craft, Madras, training under DP Roy Chowdhury.
1940 Moves to calcutta and comes across books on european art and artists such as Monet, cezanne, van Gogh and Gauguin, which are imported to cater to the needs of the soldiers of the allied forces in the city. sen’s work begins to reflect certain changes due to this exposure: an unrestrained palette, bold lines, and an almost pointillist technique.
He joins as art teacher at daly college, Indore.
1943 Forms calcutta Group, the first Indian modernist artist collective that consciously draws on european modernism. fellow artists include Gopal Ghose, prodosh das Gupta, Gobardhan ash, subho tagore, rathin Maitra, and rabin Mondal. the group’s guiding slogan—‘Man is supreme, there is none above him’—and inaugural exhibition creates a stir in the art community.
1949 Seeing an advertisement for a passage to Liverpool for £35 via the scindia steam navigation company, sen finds ways to collect enough money for the journey as well as clothes. He visits Michael Brown, the editor of The Illustrated Weekly of India, who commissions the artist to design six covers at rs. 200 each. Arriving in London, he earns money for his final destination—Paris— freelancing for the Indian section of B.B.c., and the occasional sale of his paintings.
1950 Surendra Singh Alirajpur, the second secretary at the Indian embassy in Belgium, also an old student of Indore’s daly college, organises an exhibition of sen’s works in Brussels. He is the first Indian artist to exhibit in Brussels and the show is a sell-out, providing sen with enough money to live in paris for a year

Paritosh Sen is heavily influenced by the styles and works of artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and Brancusi, which is evident in his use of strong, bold lines, mixed palette and overall composition.
1953
He attends the inauguration ceremony of the annual art exhibition, salon de Mai, in Paris, and comes face to face with picasso. the next day sen visits picasso in his apartment-cum-studio at rue Gay Lussac to show the master his works. picasso offers to organise an exhibition for him. However, sen has made up his mind to return to India.
1954 Returns to calcutta. although upset by the poverty around him, he is hopeful when he witnesses groups of rickshawallahs and others singing and dancing after a long day’s work, and thus begins to paint works with everyday life as his theme. Moves to Netarhat near Ranchi to join netarhat Vidyalaya as art teacher. the green, rugged landscape of netarhat and its locals find their way into his compositions.
1956 Returns to calcutta and joins regional Institute of printing technology, Jadavpur, as a layout and design teacher.
Holds an exhibition of his recent works at artistry House (now park Hotel) which draws a lot of critical applause from the art community.
1962 Holds a solo exhibition, based on Indian ragas and raginis, in London.
He is invited by the Government of France to spend a year in paris during which he designs the Bengali typeface, based on Rabindranath Tagore’s handwriting.
In the same year, the West Bengal government commissions a documentary on his work.
Late 1960s Sen’s works turn darker to reflect his ideological support for the naxalite movement.
1967 Prime Minister Indira Gandhi unveils Paritosh sen’s portrait of Jawaharlal nehru in Hyderabad.
1968 Sen creates a series of new paintings reflecting human anguish and turbulence. the titles of the paintings are revealing enough: The Human Condition, Man Descending Through Space, The Fall, and so on, paints portraits, two of them commemorating the famous singer Ustad Bade Gulam ali Khan. for sen, these works present the perfect amalgamation of his love for Indian music as well as his own strength as an artist. santi p. chowdhury writes, ‘one could stand before the canvases and hear the Ustad sing.
The bold, black lines in his work give way to a burst of overlapping colours such as green, blue, red, yellow, and brown.

Paloma Picasso
Tumblr media
Paloma Picasso is a renowned fashion designer, philanthropist and businesswoman. She is best known for her jewellery designs and perfume range created under the name of Yves Saint Laurent. Paloma has gained international recognition in the fashion industry due to her timeless and striking jewellery collections, which combine contemporary and classic elements. She is also well-known for her advocacy work, having worked extensively with UNICEF on projects in Southeast Asia. Here’s an overview of Paloma's life and career:  
Early Life and Education 
Paloma Picasso was born Maria Christina Paloma Vega Lopez-Cambil in Madrid, Spain on April 19th 1949. Her family home was located just outside Paris. From an early age, Picasso was surrounded by art; both of her parents were painters - artist Eva Gonzalez de la Camara and artist Pablo Picasso. When she was 18 years old, she moved to Paris to study at the École des Beaux Arts and then at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. 
Career Beginnings 
In 1968, Paloma began working as assistant designer for Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). During this time she also began designing under her own name with smaller projects such as scarves, belts, bags etc., as well as metal jewellery for YSL's haute couture collection. In 1979 Paloma made history by creating one of the first designer fragrances “Lovely Magic” with L'Oréal which boosted its sales hugely. Eventually the highly successful fragrance line including ‘Paloma picasso para femme’ launched in 1984 followed by other women's perfumes like 'Petit et grand'. However Picasso's biggest project with YSL was yet to come - the jewellery line 'Tresor Classic'. The Tresor Collection included simple elegance pieces designed with diamonds and precious stones making them alluring but wearable at same time, charming signature designs that every woman can recognize! 
 Philanthropy  
Throughout her career she has been actively involved in charity works particularly focusing on children's health issues. In particular she had long term collaboration with UNICEF since 1982 when she took part in a health care mission to SouthEast Asia to provide help for people affected by oil slicks resulting from the 1979 Gulf crisis . As a result Palomas' passionate work with UNICEF led to become honorary ambassador of the organisation offering funds detailing 3 million dollars over 10 years toward the HIV/Aids programme . Similarly, besides being part of Korean aid projects , the sweetheart necklace pioneered through a partnership between Tiffany & CO became another charitable product where 20% of purchases were given back towards UNICEF resources .  
Conclusion 
Paloma Picasso is a truly inspirational figure who has achieved immeasurable success not only within the fashion industry but also through charity works worldwide dating back more than three decades ago ! With numerous recognitions including an award from United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF ) it can be seen that legacy will live on truly making something special!
