Misia Sert, née Godebska (1872 - 1950), was a notable figure in the circle of avant-garde artists in Paris at the turn of the century. She had been married to Thadée Natanson and in 1903 she began living with Alfred Edwards. Later she married the Spanish painter José Maria Sert, and it is as Misia Sert that she is chiefly remembered.
