Description
Dazzling and original, This Dark Country sheds new light on the lives of extraordinary women artists, whose still life paintings revealed their passions, rebellions, and intimate relationships. Through a fusion of group biography and art criticism, Rebecca Birrell explores the structures of intimacy that shape our worlds, from the celebrated to the overlooked.
