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.
