Very interesting!!!

Georgia was a women who had a speicial talent in art. She went to many different schools to learn about the many different types of painting. She was critized my male artists because she was a women who wanted to paint. One man who helped her in her career was her husband who owned an art gallery in New York. Her paintings are very unique compared to other artists. She painted very big and colorful. Her drawings had cartoon characteristics which many people didn't like because it was not traditional. I liked this book very much because it showed how women in those days had to be very motivated to survive the pressure in the men's world. Also it showed how Georgia and other painters brought a knew style of painting into the new world.

I liked this book very much because it was very detailed.
