Violet Oakley: An Artist's Life

By Bailey Van Hook

This is the first full-length biography of the only major female artist of the beaux-arts mural movement in the United States. It traces her career in mural painting but also in illustration, stained glass, and portraits, as well as extensive publications. Oakley was a role model for many younger female artists but also notable is her later career in promoting international peace in the face of two world wars and the resulting Cold War.
