For women artists in the early twentieth century, such as Dora Carrington, Vanessa Bell and Gwen John, this art form was a conduit for their lives, their rebellions, their quietly subversive loves for men and women.But for every artist whom we remember, there are those whose work is almost forgotten.

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Portrait of a Lady on Fire meets The Safekeep in this "gripping, gorgeously written debut" (Joanna Quinn, The Whalebone Theatre) "A tour de force that will captivate and haunt readers, wrestling with questions of the role of art in times of oppression and the relationship of an artist to their finished work, with a pulsing thread of desire thrumming throughout. A taut, mesmerizing story." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In raucous 1928 Berlin, Hannah Sherman has deviated from the traditional arc of a woman's life. An artist and a runaway, she revels in the city's underground art scene and her newfound freedom. Working as a tailor while studying art in every spare moment, Hannah comes to know women and their bodies, first with measuring tape and silk, and later through sensuous layers of paint. Hannah feels like she can finally call herself an artist when an intoxicating, wealthy female collector commissions an elaborate series of nude portraits. But after Hannah finishes the acclaimed Venus paintings, she discovers that her work has been tampered with and exhibited under a man's name. When lines between artist and muse are crossed in a heady but perilous affair, Hannah transforms her work into an act of revenge, finding herself caught up in a devastating game of betrayal. Laced with queer desire and life-threatening secrets, Venus, Vanishing pulses with the hedonism and danger of 1930s Berlin as history comes to Hannah's door, offering a heart-pounding story of Jewish survival, creativity, and resistance.…

Shortlisted for the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize 2022Longlisted for the William M B Berger Prize for British Art History 2022A boldly original work that tells the powerful stories of a group of extraordinary women as glimpsed through their still life paintings**Picked as an Art Book of the Year 2021 by the Guardian**'As seductive as it is scholarly . Riveting' Financial Times'A wonderfully rich, deeply researched page-turner . Sumptuous, precise and bewitching' Jennifer Higgie'Playful, provocative . Her attentive, evocative prose renderings of paintings are pleasures in themselves' Times Literary Supplement------------------------------Lemons gleam in a bowl. Flowers fan out softly in a vase. A door swings open in a sparsely furnished room. What is contained in a still life and what falls out of the frame?For women artists in the early twentieth century, including Ethel Sands, Nina Hamnett, Vanessa Bell and Gwen John, who lived in and around the Bloomsbury Group, the still life was a conduit for their lives, their rebellions, their quiet loves for men and women. Gluck, who challenged the framing of her gender and her art, painted flowers arranged by the woman she loved; Dora Carrington, a Slade School graduate, recorded eggs on a table at Tidmarsh Mill, where she built a richly fulfilling if delicate life with Lytton Strachey.But for every artist we remember, there is one we have forgotten, who leaves only elusive traces, whose art was replaced by being a mother or wife, whose remaining artworks lie dusty in archives or attics.In this boldly original blend of group biography and art criticism, Rebecca Birrell brings these shadowy figures into the light and conducts a dazzling investigation into the structures of intimacy that make and dismantle our worlds.'Unusual and refreshing . Brilliant' Leanne Shapton'A brilliant book . A truly radical aesthetics fit for the twenty-first century at last!' Therese Oulton'[A] wonderful book. I am impressed and fascinated.
