In \u003ci\u003eRomaine Brooks: A Life\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRomaine Brooks: A Life\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Best books for public \u0026amp; secondary school libraries from university presses, American Library Association\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudi Kesselman-Turkel and Franklynn Peterson write and publish the newsletter CPA Computer Report.
