Publisher Synopsis
"Hopper and O'Keeffe had quite different lives and careers, yet both artists represented and participated in the breakdown of Victorian morals and manners. Vivien Green Fryd sheds new light on how the style and iconography of their art registered the pressures, joys, and disappointments both artists experienced in their relationships with their respective spouses. This pairing proves surprisingly useful and offers many insights into the artists' lives, art, and social concerns about marriage at the time." - Cecile Whiting, author of A Taste for Pop: Pop Art, Gender, and Consumer Culture Read more...
