Check out the Journal of Lesbian Studies for new article
Hi just a heads up to let you know that my paper on Romaine Brooks’ Queer Heroic Portraits is now in print in the Journal of Lesbian Studies. I am only two chapters away from finishing my draft of the Brooks book and hoping to have the entire ms. in hand and polished for the market place by the end of the summer.
It has been a long and very interesting project that is finally coming to fruition after many years of research. Brooks has been an elusive subject but I think my book will shed new light on her as a person and artist. It is a contextual study that will re-frame how we see Brooks and perhaps generate new research. Everything has been drive by Brooks’ own Ur text. The text is misleading as Brooks’ biographer Meryle Secrest indicated in her book back in the 1970s. I think readers of my book will see a heretofore unseen side of Brooks; a side she was very careful NOT to present for reasons all her own.
Stay tunned for more updates as the project reaches its conclusion. pictures of more of Brooks’ work <a href=”http://www.flickriver.com/photos/freeparking/tags/brooks/”><imgborder=”0″ width=”80″ height=”15″ title=”freeparking’s photos tagged with brooks on Flickriver” alt=”freeparking’s photos tagged with brooks on Flickriver” src=”http://data.flickriver.com/images/flickriver-80×15.png”></a>
