You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mariya Ivanovna Vassiliéva''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: '''Мария Ивановна Васильева'''), (12 February 1884 &ndash; 14 May 1957), better known as '''Marie Vassilieff''', was a Russian-born painter active in [[Paris]].

She moved to Paris at the age of twenty-three and became an integral part of the artistic community on its left bank called, [[Montparnasse]].<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1998/10/03/style/03iht-vass.t.html?pagewanted=1 ''Marie Vassilieff:A Splash of Montparnasse Color,'' New York Times] retrieved January 17, 2010</ref>

==Early life==
She was born in [[Smolensk]], Russia to a prosperous family who encouraged her to study medicine. Her natural instincts, however, were for the arts and, in 1903 she switched to the study of art at the Academy in [[St. Petersburg, Russia|St. Petersburg]]. 1905 she visited the artistic capital of the world, [[Paris, France]].

==Career==
In 1907, Marie moved to Paris to take a job as a correspondent for several Russian newspapers while studying painting under [[Henri Matisse]] and attending classes at the [[Beaux-Arts de Paris|École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts]].

In 1908 she founded the Académie Russe (Russian Academy), which was renamed the following year as, the Académie Vassilieff.

[[Image:Marie VStudio.jpg|thumb|left|''Marie Vassilieff Studio'', Paris, until 2015 the [[Musée du Montparnasse]]]] In 1912 she opened her own [[studio|atelier]] in [[Montparnasse]]. It became the  [[wikt:nexus|nexus]] for those at the [[State of the art|cutting-edge]] of art at the time, when [[Erik Satie]], [[Henri Matisse]], [[Nina Hamnett]], [[Amedeo Modigliani]], [[Ossip Zadkine]], [[Olga Sacharoff]], [[Juan Gris]], and [[Chaïm Soutine]] started dropping by in the evenings for conversation and occasionally to draw.

Before long the walls of Marie Vassilieff's atelier held a collection of paintings by [[Marc Chagall]] and [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]], drawings by [[Pablo Picasso|Picasso]] and [[Fernand Léger]], and in a corner, sat a sculpture by [[Ossip Zadkine|Zadkine]].

By 1913, her studio was so widely known that Fernand Léger gave two lectures there on the topic of [[Modern art]].

==World War I==
What Marie Vassilieff is most remembered for, however, is her canteen that operated before and during [[World War I]].<ref>((Cite web |title=Marie Vassilieff |url=https://awarewomenartists.com/en/artiste/marie-vassilieff/ |access-date=2023-11-29 |website=AWARE Women artists / Femmes artistes |language=en-US))</ref> She volunteered as a nurse in the [[French Red Cross]] and saw how badly the financial situation had become for many of the artists of [[Paris]] who were already struggling. Because many of her artist acquaintances frequently had little or nothing to eat, in 1915, she opened the canteen that provided a full meal and a glass of wine for only a few [[centime]]s.

While her canteen provided a valuable service, during [[World War I|the war]] it became a popular gathering place for the artistic community. During the war a government curfew was put into place. The restaurants and cafés of Paris all were obliged to close early, however, Marie Vassilieff's canteen was licensed as a private [[Club (organization)|club]] and, therefore, not subject to the [[curfew]]. As a result, soon her place became crowded and at night, filled with music and dancing.

In January 1917, [[Georges Braque]], who had been wounded fighting in World War I, was released from military service. Marie Vassilieff and [[Max Jacob]] decided to organize a dinner for Braque and his wife, Marcelle. Among the guests was [[Alfredo Pina]] with his new companion, [[Beatrice Hastings]], who had recently ended her two-year relationship with [[Amedeo Modigliani]]. Knowing Modigliani's penchant for causing a disturbance when he drank, and that he drank often, Marie Vassilieff did not invite Modigliani to Braque's party. The art community was small, however, and word of the get-together soon reached Modigliani. An uninvited, and very drunk, Modigliani showed up, looking for a fight. A scuffle ensued, a pistol appeared, and Marie Vassilieff, all five feet of her, pushed Modigliani downstairs while [[Pablo Picasso]] and [[Manuel Ortiz de Zarate]] locked the door. Marie Vassilieff made what is now a very famous [[drawing]] depicting the events of the evening.

==Legacy and later life==
Marie Vassilieff's own artwork is primarily in the [[Cubism|Cubist]] style, her most interesting paintings are portraits of dancers as well as those of her friends, [[Jean Cocteau]], Picasso, and Matisse. Known, too, for her decorative furniture pieces and her doll-portraits, Vassilieff's works remain very popular.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=A Day with Marie Vassilieff |url=http://www.villavassilieff.net/ |access-date=2023-11-29 |website=Villa Vassilieff |language=en))</ref> Although her works never gained the lofty stature or astounding prices of some of her renowned contemporaries, today they may be found in museums and private collections worldwide.<ref name=":0" />

As both an artist and friend, Marie Vassilieff was an integral part of the great creative community of [[Montparnasse]], where today one may still see her ornamental panels, created in 1927 for the pillars in the dining room of the [[La Coupole (Paris)|La Coupole]].

After several exhibitions in London in 1928 and 1930, and in Italy in 1929, she opened the Vassilieff Museum. Friends with [[Alfred Jarry]], she organized a homage to him.

In 1998, the [[Musée du Montparnasse]] was opened in Marie Vassilieff's old studio. The museum closed in 2015.<ref>((cite web|title=Musée du Montparnasse Shut by the City of Paris|url=https://news.artnet.com/exhibitions/musee-du-montparnasse-shut-by-the-city-of-paris-231185|publisher=Artnet News|access-date=12 February 2017|date=January 26, 2015))</ref>

Marie Vassilieff died at a home for elderly artists in [[Nogent-sur-Marne]], Île-de-France, France, on 14 May 1957.<ref name=":0" />
