Émilie Charmy
Émilie Charmy (pronounced "shar-mee") (April 2, 1878 â€“ June 7, 1974) was an artist in France's early avant-garde. She worked closely with Fauvism, Fauve artists like Henri Matisse, and was active in exhibiting her artworks in Paris, particularly with Berthe Weill. She had become an artist against the norms for French women in her day and became a well-regarded artist. She painted still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and figure paintings. Unusually for a woman at the time, she made a number of paintings of nude women in poses of sexual abandon. Charmy's initial works were Impressionism, Impressionist and Post-Impressionism, Post-Impressionist paintings. As her career evolved, she was influenced by Fauvism and the School of Paris movements.
