Description
Nell Blaine: A Life of Art and Resilience Cathy Curtis explores the remarkable story of Nell Blaine, an American painter who defied adversity to achieve success. After contracting polio, which left her paraplegic, Blaine refused to give up on her art, teaching herself to paint with her left hand and regaining her skill. This biography draws upon Blaine's unpublished diaries, published writing, interviews, reviews, and correspondence to reveal the ways in which her experience of illness shaped her personality and artistic style. Featuring illustrations of Blaine's work and photographs of family and friends, the book offers a compelling narrative of a leading woman artist who overcame significant setbacks to achieve a productive and passionate career. Through its detailed exploration of Blaine's life and art, this biography sheds new light on the experiences of women artists in the 20th century.
