About Ile-de-France

The artwork, titled “Ile-de-France,” was created by Marie Laurencin in 1940. As an exemplary piece of Expressionism, this genre painting vividly captures the essence and emotions associated with the art movement.

In the artwork, four female figures are depicted in a serene natural setting. They are stylized with soft, rounded forms and fluid lines, characteristic of Laurencin’s whimsical and delicate approach. The women’s garments, portrayed in pastel shades of blue, pink, and yellow, convey a sense of harmony and are consistent with the era’s romanticized femininity. One woman, dressed in yellow, sits in the center, her gaze directed outward, while the others either interact with her or pose elegantly nearby. A soft, dreamy landscape envelops the scene, enhancing the ethereal atmosphere.
