“Alexina Sattler (1906-1995) entered into the Matisse family through her marriage to Pierre Matisse [8]. The American-born artist­nicknamed “teeny” because of her petite stature­went to Paris in 1921 to pursue her artistic vocation. She married Pierre in 1929…She divorced Pierre in 1949, and later married Marcel Duchamp in 1954, although she had originally met him in 1923.”
