Alias Olympia, A Woman's Search for Manet's Notorious Model and Her Own Desire
Eunice Lipton
BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR •  1999 •  PAPER  • 192 PAGES

Not just another naked woman in a painting (to quote the author), Victorine Meurent figured in nine of Manet's paintings during the years 1862-1874, bewildering contemporary audiances with her frank gaze. Lipton, an art historian with feminist flair, combines biography, art history and memoir in this intriguing detective story.  (FRN220, $19.95)
