Romaine Brooks (1874-1970) "Una, Lady Troubridge" (1924) Oil on canvas Located in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, United States Una Troubridge was a British aristocrat, literary translator, and the lover of Radclyffe Hall, author of the 1928 groundbreaking lesbian novel, "The Well of Loneliness." Troubridge appears with a sense of formality and importance typical of upper-class portraiture, but with the sitter's prized dachshunds in place of the traditional hunting dog. Troubridge's impeccably tailored clothing, cravat, and bobbed hair convey the fashionable and daring androgyny associated with the so-called new woman. Her monocle suggested multiple symbolic associations to contemporary British audiences: it alluded to Troubridge's upper-class status, her Englishness, her sense of rebellion, and possibly her lesbian identity.

Romaine Brooks ~ Peter (A Young English Girl), 1923-1924, oil on canvas SAAM-1970.70_2

Peter depicts British painter Hannah Gluckstein, heir to a catering empire who adopted the genderless professional name Gluck in the early 1920s. By the time Brooks met her at one of Natalie Barney's literary salons, Gluckstein had begun using the name Peyter (Peter) Gluck. She unapologetically wore men's suits and fedoras, clearly asserting the association between androgyny and lesbian identity. Brooks's carefully nuanced palette and quiet, empty space produced an image of refined and austere modernity. ~ The Art of Romaine Brooks, 2016

SS1: The Spectacularly Bold Queer Portraiture of Romaine Brooks

Hello world!

As part of my own learning journey and the joy I get from sharing interesting art facts with others, I’ve decided to jumpstart a series called Sunday Studies, in which I dive a little deeper into the stories of lesser known artists and movements.

For the first edition of Sunday Studies, I want to bring attention to the sophisticated practice of Romaine Brooks, known for intimate gray tonal portraits of fellow artists, writers, and scholars. Brooks openly identified as a lesbian and had a long-term open relationship with writer Natalie Clifford Barney until the end of her life. Barney owned a literary salon in the Left Bank of Paris, where Brooks met most of her subjects - who were often also queer and gender nonconforming. Notable individuals Brooks portrayed include fellow painter Gluck, sculptor Una Troubridge, performer Ida Rubinstein, and musician Renata Borgatti. The American novelist Truman Capote - best known for penning Breakfast at Tiffany’s - referred to Brooks’ studio after a 1940s visit as "the all-time ultimate gallery of all the famous dykes from 1880 to 1935 or thereabouts.”

Aside from her artistic practice, Brooks cultivated an elegantly androgynous sense of style. She opted for shorter haircuts and men’s clothes, often accessorizing with top hats, ties, and gloves. The circle of women at Barney’s salon could be found wearing similar fashions, playing with the notions of gender by wearing both men and women's clothing. While these fashion choices offered an alternative method of expression, it was also a wider practice in the early 20th century lesbian community of Western Europe to adopt non-conventionally feminine styles to signal one’s sexuality. Brooks not only captured herself in more masculine dress for her self-portrait, but also rendered Gluck and Troubridge in tailored men’s finery. The portraits stray far from the standard feminine representation of the time, which often focused on themes of domesticity, vulnerability, and sexual submissiveness. Instead, in Brooks' portraits of fellow queer femmes, she highlights direct gazes, commanding poses, and confidence.

Romaine Brooks (1874-1970) "Ida Rubinstein" (1917) Oil on canvas Symbolist Located in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, United States Brooks met Russian dancer and arts patron Ida Rubinstein in Paris after Rubinstein's first performance as the title character in Gabriele D'Annunzio's play "The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian." Rubinstein was already well known for her refined beauty and expressive gestures; she secured her reputation as a daring performer by starring as the male saint in this boundary-pushing show that combined religious history, androgyny, and erotic narrative. In her autobiographical manuscript, "No Pleasant Memories," Brooks said the inspiration for this portrait came as the two women walked through the Bois de Boulogne on a cold winter morning.

Romaine Brooks (1874-1970) ~ Self-Portrait, 1923. Oil on canvas. Smithsonian American Art Museum

With this self-portrait, Brooks envisioned her modernity as an artist and a person. The modulated shades of gray, stylized forms, and psychological gravity exemplify her deep commitment to aesthetic principles. The shaded, direct gaze conveys a commanding and confident presence, an attitude more typically associated with her male counterparts. The riding hat and coat and masculine tailoring recall conventions continue reading
