Many women in the nineteenth century married for possessions and social status. Blanche Ingram was a prime example of how women, without loving or knowing a man, would already be interested in the idea of marriage.

Led by artists Pablo Picasso, George Braque, Diego Rivera and a number of other painters who worked in Paris in the early years of the twentieth century challenged all of that.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many artists, among them Paul Signac, Henri Matisse, and Franz Marc, developed new languages of representation and color to move away from the traditions of illusionism.
