Marie Cazin

French
Born Marie Clarisse Marguerite Guillet


Born into a family of artists, Marie Cazin continued this tradition alongside her husband, the painter Jean-Charles Cazin, and their son Michel. Both sculptor and painter, she drew her subjects from the world of women’s work, particularly domestic labor, thus bringing visibility to those who sustained everyday life: Les Oubliées (1890), L’École (1893), Femme au travail (1891), Vie obscure (1901).
