商品簡介
Rault (women's studies, McMaster U., Canada) explores the connections between designer Eileen Gray's lesbian lifestyle and attendant desire for privacy, and the design of her house E.1027 (which Le Corbusier later disfigured with large murals). Gray's career and the details of her designs are discussed at length, with a close focus on how her ouevre fits with that of other modernist artists and designers, making an argument that specialists have failed to notice the corollary to Gray's aesthetic in the work of painter Romaine Brooks. To supplement the argument for similarities in the lives of lesbian modernists of the era, Rault discusses the writing, reception, and lives of Djuna Barnes and Radcliffe Hall, juxtaposing these to the life and work of Gray. The volume is well-illustrated with b&w plates. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
