Additional Information:
A student at the Académie Ranson, Jeanne Coppel received an exceptional classical artistic education, however, she also got a very early personal introduction to some of the most exciting avant-garde artists working in Europe. Arriving in Berlin in 1912 Coppel made contact with Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes and then studied under Natalia Goncharova and Michel Larionov just as they invented Rayonism. Coppel was also inspired by Sonia Delaunay and dedicated her creative energy to abstract art after 1937.
