"Practically a feminist manifesto for women artists ... a love story about the hidden lives of artists and the urge to create ... Fabulously full of everything I didn't expect" -- as seen in COTSWOLD LIFE magazine I'm anonymous. Irrelevant next to the real presence - the paint on the canvas ... The hidden life of an artist is told through the work they leave behind. But every painting holds its secrets. And when your story has already been told in a painting by another's hand, sometimes it's easier to live with the myth than admit the truth ... Exploring the work of Frida Kahlo, Laura Knight, Victorine Meurent and Suzanne Valadon, and inspired by the life of Pre-Raphaelite painter Joanna Boyce - this is an absorbing portrait of the hidden life of an artist, full of secrets and surprises. How can she tell her story, when her secrets are being revealed for her by the artwork on a gallery wall, and art historians of the future will paint a very different picture? Praise for Harriet Hitchen: "An absorbing, modern retelling of artist Joanna Boyce. One of my favourites of the year so far" -- reader review "A book all students of art history should read" -- reader review "Definitely left its mark on me ... 5 stars" -- reader review
