Eileen Gray and the Design of Sapphic Modernity: Staying in

0.0

The first book-length feminist analysis of Eileen Gray\'s work, Designing Sapphic Modernity: Eileen Gray and the Aesthetics of Opacity argues that Gray\'s unusual architecture and design-as well as its history of abuse and neglect-resulted from her involvement with sapphic modernism. Gray\'s works share with paintings by Romaine Brooks, and novels by Radclyffe Hall and Djuna Barnes, an aesthetic opacity intended to resist the clarity of lesbian identity.
