### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Captures the time, place and people of the post war NYC art scene very well
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2018*

Mary Gabriel has completed brilliant work that translates a mind-boggling volume of research into a vivid and eminently readable account of the lives, art and times of these ground-breaking and adventuresome artists, who happened to be women. The broad scope of the book ranges over the broad economic, political, and artistic milieu to provide the very relevant context of the personal lives of these artists as well as their art and the art of their friends and contemporaries.The author got this story right. Full disclosure: I knew one of the artists well, Elaine de Kooning, my aunt. In her studio and elsewhere I met many of the figures that appear in this book over many years. I heard their stories, listened to their conversations, and looked at their work. Reading this book was a nostalgic sojourn spent with them again.I received an advance copy of this book from the author. It is a long book and it took me too long to read it, but it was an enjoyable and enchanting spell. Now I feel somewhat disoriented having to leave those now distant legendary decades of artistic innovation in NYC's Village and the Hamptons with the remarkable artists that peopled it. Highly recommended!

    Not just a great art book- A great  book . Period
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019*

Caveat.  I am not an artist or an art historian. I'm simply an art enthusiast.  Even though I have already read several biographies on the artists covered in this book, this work offered fresh insight, new angles, and superb context.  Like other reviewers have said - at first I could not put the book down - but later I did.  I found that often I would read a few pages, but the boo aside and just think and reflect.  I realized at some point I didn't want the book to end.  Like good novels, the characters in the book became as if they were people I knew, and in each case, I knew, it would end.  I felt a longing for a time when Art, literature and drama mattered so much that it was featured on the covers of major magazines. Now we live in a time when major magazines are gone, so many young people barely read, and art is assailed as a frivolous activity that should be removed from education in place of more practical matters.  I know of the poets, the literary magazines, and the art of the time covered in this book but really have no idea if anything like that exists in this time.  There well may be a similar movement now.  So in the end when the last page was turned I felt sad,I wanted to story to continue and this great book to keep going.  I am a voracious reader - I count this book as one of the truly great books I have read in my lifetime.

    In depth account of 5 women who helped define the abstract expressionist movement
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019*

Here's an intimate portrait of 5 of the women who created art along side the men in the abstract expressionist movement. While most everyone has heard of Jackson Pollock, how many have heard of his wife Lee Krasner?Or Elaine De Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan or Joan Mitchell? Yet these 5 women struggled, starved, sacrificed and studied along side the giants of the art industry. And they were recognized as artists in their own time.Today, they seem to have been lost along the way. This book shows them as holding their own and even influencing their male contemporaries.This book explains how,where and why they created the art that so many people would dismiss as "something  my kid could do". And gives the reader a much better understanding of the reasons and thought processes behind their art.For anyone who wants to "understand  Modern Art", this could be a primer. And although it is long, it reads like a juicy novel.  There are photos of all the women, some of the men and the paintings mentioned in this book.As a former Art Museum docent , the hardest question for my guests to answer was "Name 5 women artists". After reading this book, YOU'll be able to name these 5 incredible artists and then some!
