Marguerite Blasingame 1906 - 1947
Marguerite and her Husband, Frank Marvin Blasingame, were both artists and sometimes collaborated on works, but based on the style of various works, it is clear that some works were executed by Frank alone, and some by Marguerite. This painting, which represents the pinnacle of Marguerite's abilities depicts a group of dancers and musicians clearly demonstrating the influence of Diego Rivera, who befriended Marguerite and clearly influenced her style during the ten years when she was acquainted with Rivera.
There are other works in the marketplace that are characterized by dreamy symbolist imagery painted in a semi abstract manner, and these are all works by her husband, Frank Marvin Blasingame.
