En savoir plus sur le livre

Intimate American Women in the Arts, and the Beinecke Libraryexhibition of the same name, will focus on several loosely defined groups of women, including communities in Taos, New Mexico and the American southwest (highlighting Georgia O'Keeffe and Mabel Dodge Luhan), Harlem and "outposts" of the Harlem Renaissance such as Chicago and Washington D.C. (including Zora Neale Hurston, A'Lelia Walker, and Georgia Douglas Johnson), New York City (considering Neith Boyce Hapgood, Eva Le Gallienne, Elinor Wylie, and Muriel Draper), the American Midwest (including Ruth Stephan, Katherine Kuh, Sara Teasdale), and expatriate communities abroad (highlighting Stein and Toklas, Romaine Brooks, H.D., Josephine Baker). The exhibition and catalog consider women who have made a variety of contributions to the editors, patrons, curators, and partners as well as writers, artists, and performers.
