A definitive analysis of the life and art of Romaine Brooks, reproducing 34 of the 40 nudes and portraits she painted, as well as 37 automatic pen-and-ink drawings. The book is published in conjunction with a major travelling exhibition of Brooks's work opening in Washington, DC, in June 2000. |
| Synopsis: |
Presenting a comprehensive analysis of the life and art of Romaine Brooks, this text reproduces in colour 34 of the 40 nudes and portraits she painted, as well as 37 automatic pen-and-ink drawings. The first female painter since Artemisia Gentileschi in the 17th century to portray an ideal of heroic femininity, Romaine Brooks (1874-1970), like her contemporary Gwen John, shaped an image of the androgynous New Woman for the 20th century. |
