The American women who created an art haven in Paris
June 20, 2024 1:11 PM Subscribe
Before World War II, a group of wealthy artists wanted to build a world largely independent of men and American racism. Their story is sumptuously illustrated by the National Portrait Gallery’s sweeping exhibition “Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900-1939.” Review by Mark Jenkins
Oh, I'll have to go see this! I was there (well, on the American Art side) in late April but somehow I missed this. I don't mind having an excuse to go to a museum, though.
It'll be a little hot this weekend so being outside between the Metro & the museum doesn't appeal but since my weekend plans fell through, this may be a good replacement.

Ooooooh, that sounds great. Thank you for posting! Since it goes to next February, I expect there’s a decent chance I might see it — that would be a nice Saturday in the autumn.
