Alice Halicka

In 1921, she showed cubist work together with her husband at the Société des Artistes Indépendants.

[4] Halicka painted in various styles but also produced work in fabric, including Romances capitonnées,[3] and even made set designs for ballets which were performed at the Metropolitan Opera of New York and Covent Garden, London.

[1][5] She spent World War II in France and wrote a memoir afterwards called Hier, souvenirs, published in 1946.

[1] Alice Halicka's work is characterized by a great rigor of constructions (many architectural themes) combined with variety, fantasy and poetic inspiration.

It includes many oils: landscapes, still lifes, gouaches, drawings, collages, watercolours, engravings, decorative works on fabrics, decorative screens (for Helena Rubinstein), decorations for ballets (such as Le Baiser of Stravinsky's Fairy in 1937, which was performed at the Metropolitan Opera) and illustrations of literary works.
