Hélène Oettingen
Baroness Hélèné d'Oettingen (1887, Ukraine - 1950, Paris), born Elena Francezna Miaczinska, was a Russian-French painter and writer. Her father is believed to have been a Polish nobleman, but she supposedly acquired the baroness title through marrying a Baltic baron. D'Oettingen used male pseudonyms to publish her art. She is known as a poet under the pseudonym Leonardo Pieu, as a novelist and art critic under the pseudonym Roch Grey, and as a painter under the pseudonym François Angiboult. She studied at the Académie Julian. In the 1910s, she held a literary salon, at her home on 229 Boulevard Raspail. This became an important meeting spot for avant-garde artists and critics, such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Pablo Picasso, Francis Picabia, Ossip Zadkine, Amedeo Modigliani, Amadeo Modigliani and Alexander Archipenko. Before the war, she helped save ''Les Soirées de Paris,'' with her nephew and lover Serge Férat. This made her a crucial link in the prewar Cubism, cubist networ ...

Paul Guillaume
Paul Guillaume (; 1891 in Paris – 1934 in Paris) was a French art dealer. Dealer of Chaïm Soutine and Amedeo Modigliani, he was one of the first to organize African art exhibitions. He also bought and sold many works from cutting-edge artists of the time, such as Henri Matisse, Constantin Brâncuși, Pablo Picasso, and Giorgio de Chirico. Life Being from modest origins, Paul Guillaume worked first in a garage in Montmartre and then in his gallery in Paris. In his gallery, he presented and sold especially the works of Amedeo Modigliani, who painted several portraits of him. He found African sculptures which he displayed. This aroused the attention of Guillaume Apollinaire (whom he met in 1911), who in turn introduced him to many of the artists of the beginning of the century in France. He soon organized important exhibitions, such as the ''Première Exposition d’Art Nègre et d’Art Océanien'', on 13–19 May 1919, with a catalogue by Henri Clouzot and additional text by ...

This also differs from a new name that entirely or legally replaces an individual's own. Many pseudonym holders use them because they wish to remain anonymous and maintain privacy, though this may be difficult to achieve as a result of legal issues. Scope Pseudonyms include stage names, user names, ring names, pen names, aliases, superhero or villain identities and code names, gamertags, and regnal names of emperors, popes, and other monarchs. In some cases, it may also include nicknames. Historically, they have sometimes taken the form of anagrams, Graecisms, and Latinisations.
