Tucked away among the letters; diaries; and other ephemera in the Smithsonians archives lies a trove of rarely seen snapshots of some of the twentieth centurys most celebrated artists. Unlike the familiar official portraits and genius-at-work shots; these humble snaps capture creative giants with their guard down; in the moment; living life. Pablo Picasso stands proudly on a balcony with young daughter Mayamdash;a tiny; meticulously inked annotation penned by an unknown hand proclaims that "hes very much in love." Jackson Pollock morosely carves a turkey while his mother; Stella; and wife; Lee Krasner; look on. A young Andy Warhol clowns for the camera with college friend Philip Pearlstein; and in a later shot more closely resembles his famously enigmatic public self at a gallery opening with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

I was excited to buy a book about women artists ...By Leah TimberlakeI was excited to buy a book about women artists; I have tried a couple of times to read the essays in this collection. I cannot figure out what the author is saying. I have a masters degree and I am well read. I frequent art museums and have read interviews; memoirs; biographies and critiques of artists with no problems in understanding them. I feel as though this book was written for "insiders". I regret the purchase. I will learn about these artists through another channel.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
