Marie Vassilieff

Marie Vassilieff was a French artist born in Smolensk, Russia. She moved to Paris in 1905 to study art, and became a prominent figure in the city's artistic community. Vassilieff was a painter, sculptor, and designer, and was known for her involvement in the Cubist and Montparnasse art movements.

In 1910, Vassilieff opened La Ruche, a studio complex and artist colony in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The complex was made up of small, inexpensive studios that were rented out to artists who were just starting out, as well as more established artists who needed a place to work. La Ruche quickly became a gathering place for some of the most important artists of the time, including Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, and Amedeo Modigliani.

During World War I, Vassilieff worked as a nurse and ambulance driver, and she was awarded the Croix de Guerre for her service. She continued to work as an artist after the war, and was involved in several exhibitions, including the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Indépendants.

In addition to her artistic work, Vassilieff was also known for her activism. She was a member of the French Communist Party, and was involved in various socialist and feminist organizations.
