Romaine Brooks

 I am working on an essay that goes into Romaine’s concept of her queer heroic portraits which will be published in 2010 in an anthology of writings dealing with queers and art in The Journal of Lesbian Studies. For those of you interested in other artists that I write about please go to the links listed on the site for updates. Have recently finished a review of the Demuth exhibition at Whitney and writings on Bacon, Hart Crane, Balthus, George Tooker and an interview with internationally known photographer Allen Frame (see his illustration covers for Robert Bolono’s books), up coming in the next few months. Then for fun a review of a new Lana Turner book written by her daughter and packed with wonderful photographs.

For other creative endeavors keep tuned my cassandralanger.com author’s site. Also have signed up to Facebook and Twitter for on-going updates and random thoughts.

Themes of art and music are profoundly emotional
