Les «parisiennes d’Odessa» et l’art de l’émigration russe en France (autournant du XXe siècle)
The "Parisians of Odessa" and the art of Russian emigration to France (around the twentieth century)

Summary/Abstract: This article evokes the lives of five young artists from Odessa who immigrated to France in the early twentieth century. It is discussed in the perspective of two axes: the historical, social and artistic context, followed by five case studies on these talented artists, which are now almost forgotten. The contribution of these "Parisians of Odessa" to the aesthetic creation of Montparnasse from 1920-1930 will provide some elements to demonstrate how these women managed to find their place in artistic creation, then in the history of art - in France and abroad.
