The White Blackbird: A Life of the Painter Margarett Sargent by Her Granddaughter by Honor Moore

5.0

The best book I've ever read on a Woman Painter. As you read Margarett Singer Sargent's story you not only learn about American art history but you learn about Art history through the ages. I didn't want to put this book down and I read within a week. This woman has not been acknowledged through the canons of American Art History. If it hadn't been for her granddaughter finding her artwork and diaries in the closets she would have gone unnoticed. I cannot wait to study her more and is now my favorite American artist of the century. Thank you Honor for such a captivating and honest storytelling!
