Chabor (1905-1995) was born and raised in Paris. She studied under the prolific sculptor Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929) and worked closely with artist Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938). Beginning her career as a glove designer, Chabor later transitioned to painting, creating dazzling scenes of Paris in the mid-20th century. She escaped Nazi persecution during World War II by finding refuge with the Sisters of St. Vincent in Paris. Later in life, Chabor lived in between Paris and New York.
