An artist whose unparalleled animal portraits and scenes of rural life brought her international success and critical acclaim, here was a woman who shunned feminine pursuits, who brazenly wore trousers, whose most intimate relationships were with other women, and whose home constituted a menagerie where visitors might find anything from lions to polar bears. Made Chevalier, then Officer de la LeÌgion d'Honneur for the arts - France's highest order of civilian merit - Rosa's reputation seemed assured. But her happiness in later years was interrupted by tragedy before her artistic legacy gradually faded. Biographer Catherine Hewitt examines anew the life and career of a true one-off. 600 10 $a Bonheur, Rosa, $d 1822-1899. 600 17 $a Bonheur, Rosa, $d 1822-1899. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00056023 650 0 $a Lesbian artists $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women painters $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay artists $z France $v Biography. 650 7 $a Gay artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939057 650 7 $a Lesbian artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996456 650 7 $a Women painters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178251 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9C231972F83C11EC97B2B25526ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
