Miss Beaux is not only the greatest woman painter, but the best that has ever lived.William Merritt Chase, 1899Author Alice A. Carter expertly traces Cecilia Beauxs fascinating and unconventional life, from her privileged Philadelphia childhood to her successful penetration into the maledominated inner circle of the art world of Paris, Philadelphia, and New York. Carter reveals how Beauxs passion for her work and her headstrong spirit enabled her to achieve professional success unrivaled by any other female artistand the personal price she paid for it.Born in Philadelphia in 1855, Cecilia Beaux pursued an artistic career with the same zeal as her male peers, and by the turn of the century she had established an international reputation and exhibited regularly. She worked with eminent artists of her day, including Claude Monet, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent, and in 1895 she became the first fulltime female faculty member of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.This is the first illustrated biography of Beauxs work, showcasing more than 150 paintings and drawings, including her best known highstyle portrait commissions of such notable figures as Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Georges Clemenceau, as well as later landscapes and stilllife compositions. Much of this work has rarely been seen.
