She also worked in pencil, watercolor, charcoal, etching, and oil, producing prints, illuminated lithographic illustrations of stories and poetry, hand-colored drypoints, etchings, aquatints, drawings, and paintings. Her works rely heavily on the use of line, emphasizing illustration over decoration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLydis drew inspiration from Koran decoration and decorated Korans herself. Much of her portraiture features young women, including the lithograph Les Paradis artificiels (16 works, 1955), the pencil-and-watercolor drawing Iris (1940), and the oil paintings Jeune femme de profil (1933), Portrait de jeune fille (1955), and Jovencita (1950). Lydis also based some of her works, including Les Criminelles, on prisons and condemned French women. She was influenced heavily by the Japanese artist Tsuguharu Foujita, her friend in Montmartre.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodberry's Vintage Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48771641671937,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/7840\/7169\/files\/9C76836C-C0A0-4E14-BB8B-BAE3E4344A8E.jpg?v=1778839403","url":"https:\/\/woodberrys-art.myshopify.com\/products\/j-468","provider":"Woodberry's Vintage Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
