Openly queer, she challenged conceptions of gender and sexuality in her art, which also served as her refuge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile many of her male counterparts were disfiguring and cubing their subjects—often women—Brooks gave personhood and power to the figures she painted. Her frank approach to her complicated relationship with her mother, faith, wealth, sexuality, and gender is complemented by a keen wit that echoes the grey tones of her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough her paintings are held in major collections, Brooks's influence in modernist circles of the early twentieth century is largely underexplored. This new publication, \u003cem\u003eStrange Impressions\u003c\/em\u003e, guided by Brooks's own impressionistic musings, bridges an important gap between the art and the artist. An introduction by Lauren O'Neill-Butler explores Brooks's role as an artist in the early twentieth century through the lens of gender and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428156850412,"sku":"9781644230824","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781644230824.jpg?v=1774767119"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/romaine-brooks.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
