Romaine Brooks

Romaine Brooks has to be one of my top five favourite painters.  She understood the importance of women's liberation and equal rights and has changed attitudes of homosexuality since the 19th century.   Her paintings were exhibited for the first time in America in 1971, one year after she died in Nice, France. A woman with attitude and a survivor, she had style and portrayed this through her paintings.  I am a great lover of Romaine.

And here is a photo of her studio where she created these paintings.
