The artistic achievements of Romaine Brooks (1874-1970), both as a
major expatriate American painter and as a formative innovator in
the decorative arts, have long been overshadowed by her fifty-year
relationship with writer Natalie Barney and a reputation as a
fiercely independent, aloof heiress who associated with fascists in
the 1930s. In Romaine Brooks: A Life, art historian Cassandra
Langer provides a richer, deeper portrait of Brooks's aesthetics
and experimentation as an artist-and of her entire life, from her
chaotic, traumatic childhood to the enigmatic decades after World
War II, when she produced very little art. This provocative, lively
biography takes aim at many myths about Brooks and her friends,
lovers, and the subjects of her portraits, revealing a woman of wit
and passion who overcame enormous personal and societal challenges
to become an extraordinary artist and create a life on her own
terms. Romaine Brooks: A Life, introduces much fresh information
from Langer's decades of research on Brooks and establishes this
groundbreaking artist's centrality to feminism and contemporary
sexual politics as well as to visual culture.
