Maria Manton (1910–2003) was a French painter.
Maria Manton was born on 4 December 1910 in Blida, Algeria. During the German occupation of Alsace in 1870, her maternal grandparents came to settle in the outskirts of the city.

At the end of her secondary studies, during which she was passionate about Egyptology, Maria Manton fell ill for more than a year, which forced her to give up starting higher education and she began to draw. She attended drawing classes and then the painting studio of the School of Fine Arts in Algiers from 1936 to 1942. There, in 1941 she met Louis Nallard, whom she married in 1944. She also met Marcel Bouqueton and Sauveur Galliéro, with whom she exhibited in 1942, and Robert Martin, who later directed the avant-garde gallery Colline in Oran, then the painter Georges Ladrey. In 1946 she made her first solo exhibition and participated in the “Ecole de Paris” exhibition organized by Gaston Diehl. [1]

Beatrice Mandelman, known as Bea, was an American abstract artist associated with the group known as the Taos Moderns. She was born in Newark, New Jersey to Anna Lisker Mandelman and Louis Mandelman, Jewish immigrants who imbued their children with their social justice values and love of the arts. After studying art in New York City and being employed by the Works Progress Administration Federal Arts Project (WPA-FAP), Mandelman arrived in Taos, New Mexico, with her artist husband Louis Leon Ribak in 1944 at the age of 32. Mandelman's oeuvre consisted mainly of paintings, prints, and collages. Much of her work was highly abstract, including her representational pieces such as cityscapes, landscapes, and still lifes. Through the 1940s, her paintings feature richly textured surfaces and a subtly modulated, often subdued color palette. New Mexico landscape and culture had a profound influence on Mandelman's style, influencing it towards a brighter palette, more geometric forms, flatter surfaces, and more crisply defined forms. One critic wrote that the "twin poles" of her work were Cubism and Expressionism. Her work is included in many major public collections, including large holdings at the University of New Mexico Art Museum and Harwood Museum of Art.
