Margaret Lefranc (nee Frankel; later Schoonover) (March 15, 1907 – September 5, 1998) was an American painter, illustrator and editor, an American Modernist with early training as a color expressionist.
According to the art historian Sharyn Udall, Lefranc was a woman "on the edge of the avant-garde".
Lefranc produced portraits, figures, florals, still lifes and landscapes in a variety of compositions.
Her media included oil, watercolor, gouache, pastel, drawing, etching and monotypes.
At age eighteen, she received accolades from Alfred Stieglitz and, in November 1928, aged twenty-two, received rave reviews in La Revue Moderne, when her works Dancer and Mme M.
en Pyjama were shown in Paris.
