  • Romaine Brooks (May 1, 1874 – December 7, 1970), born Beatrice Romaine Goddard, was an American painter who specialized in portraiture and used a subdued palette dominated by the color gray. Brooks ignored contemporary artistic trends such as Cubism and Fauvism, drawing instead on the Symbolist and Aesthetic movements of the 19th century, especially the works of James McNeill Whistler. Her subjects ranged from anonymous models to titled aristocrats, but she is best known for her images of women in androgynous or masculine dress, including her self-portrait of 1923, which is her most widely reproduced work. Brooks had an unhappy childhood with an emotionally abusive mother and a mentally ill brother, which by her own account cast a shadow over her whole life. She spent several years in Italy and France as an impoverished art student, then inherited a fortune upon her mother's death. Wealth gave her the freedom to choose her own subjects, and she often painted people close to her, such as the Italian writer and politician Gabriele D'Annunzio, the Russian dancer Ida Rubinstein, and her partner of more than 50 years, the writer Natalie Barney. Although she lived until 1970, she painted very little after 1925. She made a series of line drawings during the early 1930s, using an "unpremeditated" technique resembling automatic drawing, then virtually abandoned art, completing only a single portrait after World War II.
  • Romaine Goddard Brooks, de nacimiento Beatrice Romaine Goddard fue una pintora estadounidense. Estudió pintura en Italia, después tuvo un breve matrimonio y en 1905 se mudó a París, donde sentó las bases de nuevos círculos literarios, artísticos y homosexuales. Su reputación alcanzó el máximo auge en 1925, con varias exposiciones artísticas importantes. Sus retratos sombreados con muy poco color esporádico, exudan las personalidades de sus modelos a un grado inquietante. Su obra más importante es quizá Miss Natalie Barney, "L'Amazone", que es la pintura que le hizo a su amante Natalie Clifford Barney en 1920.
  • Romaine Brooks oli yhdysvaltalainen taidemaalari, joka oli erikoistunut muotokuvamaalaukseen ja käytti hyvin hillittyä palettia, jota hallitsee harmaa. Hän ei omaksunut aikansa taidetyylejä, kuten kubismia and fauvismia vaan sai pikemminkin vaikutteita 1800-luvun symbolismista ja fin de sièclestä, etenkin James McNeill Whistlerin teoksista. Hänen aiheensa liikkuivat nimettömistä malleista ylhäisön edustajiin, mutta parhaiten hänet tunnetaan naiskuvista, joissa malli on pukeutunut androgyynisesti tai miesten vaatteisiin, mistä esimerkki on hänen omakuvansa vuodelta 1923, joka on hänen yleisimmin kopioitu teoksensa.
  • Romaine Brooks, née Beatrice Romaine Goddard à Rome le 1 mai 1874 et morte à Nice le 7 décembre 1970, est une peintre américaine. Romaine Brooks s’est spécialisée dans l’art du portrait et a employé une palette sombre dominée par la couleur grise. Elle a ignoré les tendances artistiques contemporaines comme le cubisme et le fauvisme pour leur préférer les mouvements symboliste et esthétiste du XIX siècle, particulièrement des travaux de Whistler. Quatre de ses portraits sont visibles dans les collections du Musée Sainte-Croix à Poitiers.
  • Nacque come Beatrice Romaine Goddard a Roma, da ricchi genitori statunitensi (che le garantirono l'agiatezza per tutta la vita, di fatto esentandola dal bisogno di un lavoro), che decisero di rientrare presto negli Stati Uniti. Dopo aver raggiunto l'età adulta la Brooks passò la maggior parte della propria vita a Parigi. Tra il 1903 ed il 1904 la Brooks fu, per un breve periodo, sposata con il pianista bisessuale John Ellington Brooks. Presto però i due raggiunsero un accordo: non avrebbero divorziato, in modo da mantenere lo status socialmente rispettabile di persone sposate, ma non avrebbero più convissuto. In cambio Romaine avrebbe garantito una rendita mensile al marito. Che accettò volentieri. Lasciato il marito la Brooks ebbe, tra le altre, relazioni amorose con l'ex amante di Oscar Wilde, Lord Alfred Douglas, con la ballerina Ida Rubinstein e con lo scrittore e politico Gabriele D'Annunzio. La più importante relazione della sua vita, durata cinquant'anni, fu però quella con la scrittrice lesbica Natalie Clifford Barney, che incontrò nel 1915.
