It was there that she became friends with some of the greatest artists and writers of the early twentieth century then resident in Montparnasse and especially at La Ruche, among them were Pablo Picasso Georges Braque, Marc Chagall , Jean Cocteau, Ilya Ehrenburg, Max Jacob, Moise Kisling, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and Chaim Soutine.It was while a resident of La Ruche that Marevna met the prominent Mexican artist Diego Rivera and the two had a complicated relationship, which produced a daughter, Marika in 1919. Rivera returned to Mexico in 1921, leaving Marevna and their daughter behind in Paris.The following lots (1238-1249a) are some of the items Marevna chose to surround herself with in later years, some of which can be seen in the images shown here, notably her easel, upon which no doubt she created and showcased some of her most famous works, and an alabaster mask of an unidentified face, perhaps showcasing the inspiration she received from her friends and contemporaries, such as Picasso and Braque
