Nadia Khodossievitch was born in what was then the Russian Empire, although of Polish descent. While studying at the Warsaw Academy of the Arts, she met and married Polish artist Stanislaw Grabowski, and together they moved to Paris, where she studied under Fernand Leger. She was divorced in 1932, and stayed in Paris through the war, believed to have been working with the French Resistance. Leger, who had left Paris during the war, reunited with her upon his return, and they were married in 1952.
