aMused by... Romaine Brooks

First of all, thank you to this site for all the information.

One of my favorite artists when I was younger was Romain Brooks. Her ability to create striking yet somber paintings is something I am rather impressed and influenced by. She had a very rough childhood and did her best to cope.

A self protrait.
