Biography/Timeline

1881

Blanchard was born on 6 March 1881 in Santander, Spain. She was the daughter of Journalist Enrique Gutiérrez Cueto and Concepción Blanchard Santisteban. She was the cousin of Mexican Artist Germán Cueto.

1903

In 1903, she moved to Madrid and studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando under Spanish artists such as Emilio Sala and Manuel Benedito. Sala taught Blanchard "precision" and the "exuberant use of colour," which would feature in her early compositions. In 1908, after Blanchard won a third prize for her painting Primeros pasos at the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes, the Santander government awarded her a grant to support her education in the arts. In 1909, this grant allowed her to continue her artistic education at the Academie Vitti in Paris under Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa and Kees van Dongen. Here she discovered cubist painting, and was influenced by Jacques Lipchitz and Juan Gris. In 1914, due to the First World War, Blanchard left Paris returned to Madrid. She shared a studio in her mother's house with some of the artist's she met in Paris In 1915, her art was displayed in an exhibition organized by Ramón Gómez de la Serna at the Museo de Arte Moderno (Madrid). She was contacted to teach art in Salamanca (Madrid), but was disappointed by the experience and ultimately moved back to Paris.

1918

In 1918, after the end of the war, Blanchard moved to Paris, where she would spend the rest of her life. There, she met many Cubist artists and began developing her own style of Cubism. She became close friends with Juan Gris, a Spanich Cubist Painter, who heavily influenced her work. Blanchard joined the Section d'Or, a Cubist art group Early paintings, such as "Woman With a Fan" [1], show flat, interlocked shapes. Her unique style evolved to become more figurative and traditional over the years; her paintings became harsh, with bright clashing colors and melancholic themes. The resulting artwork was very emotionally expressive.

1920

Demand for Blanchard's art skyrocketed after the showings 1920 in France and Belgium, and the 1921 exhibition at the Society of Independent Artists. She came into contact with significant art dealers, but due to the adverse economic situation which followed, many Collectors stopped investing in her work. She became financially dependent on her friend, Frank Flausch (1878–1926) until his death. Without Flaush, Blanchard was able to sell paintings to galleries in Paris and a few private patrons.

1927

In 1927, Gris died. Blanchard was severely affected and fell into a state of depression. Her sister, Carmen, and nephews came to live with her in Paris, alleviating her loneliness but worsening her financial situation. In her deteriorating health, Blanchard turned to religion and considered joining a convent, but never did. She continued painting to support her sister and nephews.

1932

Blanchard's health gradually declined over the following years. She contracted tuberculosis, making it impossible for her to paint. On April 5, 1932, she died at age 51 in Paris.

2012

Blanchard's work was featured in the Botin Foundation of Santander, Spain during 2012–2013. Her paintings have been compared to the work of Pablo Picasso, and she shared an exhibit with him at the Hall Des Independance. The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Hood Museum of Art, and Courtauld Institute of Art display original works from Blanchard. Blanchard was described by Gris as "[having] talent." Jacques Lipchitz wrote about her, saying that Blanchard "was a sincere Artist and her paintings contain a painful sentiment of unusual violence." Diego Rivera described her work as being "pure expression."
