[1] Sala taught Blanchard "precision" and the "exuberant use of colour," which would feature in her early compositions.

[1] 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.

[1] She became close friends with Juan Gris, a Spanish Cubist painter, who heavily influenced her work.

[1] Blanchard joined the Section d'Or, a Cubist art group[14] Early paintings, such as Woman With a Fan, show flat, interlocked shapes.

[14] Her style evolved to become more figurative and traditional over the years; her paintings became harsh, with bright clashing colors and melancholic themes.

Demand for Blanchard's art increased after the 1920 showings in France and Belgium, and the 1921 exhibition at the Society of Independent Artists.

[14] She came into contact with significant art dealers, but due to the adverse economic situation which followed, many collectors stopped investing in her work.

[5] Her sister, Carmen, and nephews came to live with her in Paris, alleviating her loneliness but worsening her financial situation.

Jacques Lipchitz wrote about her, saying that Blanchard "was a sincere artist and her paintings contain a painful sentiment of unusual violence."
