Subject: Important Recent Book on Woman Artist
Dear Colleagues:
I want to draw your attention to an important recent publication on a woman
artist.
Dwyer, Britta C. Anna Klumpke: Turn-of-the-Century Painter and Her World.
Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1999. (cl: alk. paper) 222 p. :
ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm.
ISBN 1555533868 $35.00
This detailed study of American portraitist Anna Klumpke traces her rise to
prominence in the art worlds of Paris and Boston against the backdrop of
fin-de-siecle culture. Addressing the two themes of "women and art" and
"women and choices" the book highlights the complex and complicated concerns
for women of that era. Drawing on a wide spectrum of sources from art
history to psychology, Britta Dwyer's multilayered academic perspective will
be a model for future biographical studies of women artists.
