Alive Still: Nell Blaine, American Painter

First biography of a prominent artist who retaught herself how to paint after becoming a paraplegic, and became even more accomplished than she was before.

A Generous Vision: The Creative Life of Elaine de Kooning

First full-scale biography of Elaine de Kooning, who had a starring roll in the close-knit world of New York artists at mid-century.

Restless Ambition: Grace Hartigan, Painter

The first biography of leading Abstract Expressionist painter Grace Hartigan traces her rise from virtually self-taught painter to art-world fame and her plunge into obscurity after leaving New York to marry a scientist in Baltimore.
