Synopsis
It was not unusual for young women of the late Victorian era to take to art with a passion and flamboyance that brought them either fame or notoriety, and sometimes both. One such artist was Eulabee Dix (1878-1961), a leading miniaturist of the American revival period at the turn of the century. A fascinating and determined woman, Eulabee painted "in little" but was larger than life. The artist's memoirs, her family's recollections, and letters to her from John Butler Yeats, energize and balance this biography of a woman whose blazing talent was joined to a personality that sometimes defied understanding. She painted the last portrait of Mark Twain from life, as well as miniatures of Ethel Barrymore, the Countess of Warwick and her titled friends, and Hollywood and New York luminaries of social, artistic, and literary prominence. Eulabee's exquisite color sense and brushwork are seen today in the collection of her work at The National Museum of Women in the Arts, and in miniature collections at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and National Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Worcester Art Museum. A great beauty herself, Eulabee was painted by other artists, including her friends Robert Henri, John Sloan, and Charles Hawthorne, and she was photographed by Gertrude Kasebier. These acclaimed works and her own beautiful miniatures illustrate the life of a woman dedicated to preserving an art form that had endured since the Middle Ages., It was not unusual for young ladies of the late Victorian era to take to art with a passion and flamboyance that brought them either fame or notoriety. Eulabee Dix (1878-1961) attracted both. She painted the last portrait of Mark Twain from life, as well as miniatures of Ethel Barrymore, the Countess of Warwick and her titled friends, and Hollywood and New York luminaries. Her own beautiful miniatures and portraits of Dix by Robert Henri, John Sloan, Charles Hawthorne, Frederick Church, John Butler Yeats, and Gertrude Kasebier illustrate the life of a woman who fought fiercely for 20th-century viability of an art form that had endured since the Middle Ages.

    The seller responded immediately to questions and was very helpful! Shipped very quickly and packaging was very protective. I purchased the cutest "Ocean Sunset" themed onesie and a pair of tie front denim shorts - new with tags. Items came exactly as described and I'm so excited for him to wear these! Amazing value especially considering Onesie and Shorts and this is no longer in stock! I was in love with it!!!
