María Gutiérrez Blanchard

María Blanchard (born María Gutiérrez-Cueto y Blanchard) was a Spanish painter, renowned for her distinctive approach to Cubism. Born in Santander in 1881, Blanchard's early life was marked by challenges, including a physical disability due to a congenital condition. Despite these obstacles, she pursued her passion for art, studying under notable teachers in Madrid before moving to Paris, where she immersed herself in the avant-garde scene. Blanchard's work was characterized by her innovative Cubist style, which she developed through interactions with prominent Cubist artists like Juan Gris. Her paintings, such as "The Lighthouse" and "Still Life with Red Lamp," exemplify her ability to blend geometric abstraction with expressive color and form.

Throughout her career, Blanchard faced personal and financial hardships, yet she continued to evolve artistically, exploring themes of melancholy and isolation. Her significant contributions to Cubism and modern art were recognized in her lifetime, with her works exhibited in major venues and collected by institutions. Blanchard's legacy as a pioneering female artist in the early 20th-century art world endures, with her paintings held in prestigious collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid​​​.
