Born in the Jura region, Marguerite Gabriel-Claude (1879-1950) entered the history of art in 1912 by marrying Paul Sérusier and settling in Brittany (Finistère). Her career and practice before this date are still little known but deserve attention, as they reveal the status of women at the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1900, Marguerite joined the École Normale de Melun as a student teacher and obtained her certificate of aptitude for teaching drawing. Her teaching methods developed and emphasized free creation rather than copying. In 1911, under the leadership of Maurice Denis and Paul Poiret, she founded a workshop dedicated to the creation of motifs: the Martine school. Marguerite Gabriel-Claude was indeed one of the first students of the Académie Ranson, an art school created by the Nabis in 1908, with teachers Paul Ranson, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Lacombe, etc.
