Better Than Beauty - Life and Work of Jeanne d'Orge

Wilgress, Jane

1st edition, Sep 2004. Large soft back 8.5" x 9.5" 112 pages. Fully illustrated in colour and b&w, including personal photos of d'Orge with family and friends. A very good clean copy, internally immaculate, card covers clean and sharp with the merest hint of corner curl. A fascinating look at the life and work of Jeanne d'Orge, mystical poet and painter. She was born Lena Yates, in England, in 1879 and moved to the USA in 1906 when she married an American. With her second husband, an inventor named Carl Cherry, she later established the Carl Cherry Foundation, now the Carl Cherry Centre for the Arts.
