Abstract
Desde el romanticismo, como afirma Albert Camus, la tarea del artista no consistirá solamente en crear un mundo, ni en exaltar la belleza por si sola, sino también en definir una actitud. La actitud en dandy es, precisamente, la que dará sentido a la vida de muchas mujeres que durante los años diez y veinte del pasado siglo XX se auto declararon “artistas de la modernidad”. Esté libro indaga la vida hecha obra, o viceversa, de la Baronesa Elsa, de Djuna Barnes, Florine Stettheimer y Romaine Brooks. Es de hecho el texto que sirvió como defensa de la tesis doctoral del mismo nombre que su autora defendió en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de Valencia, UPV, en 2009.
From romanticism, as Albert Camus affirms, the artist's task is not only to create a world, nor to exalt beauty on its own, but also to define an attitude. The attitude in dandy is, specifically, the one that makes sense to the lives of many women who during the decade of the tenths and twenties of the last century declared themselves "artists of modernity". This book investigates the life made work, or vice versa, of Baroness Elsa, Djuna Barnes, Florine Stettheimer and Romaine Brooks. It is in fact the text that served as a defense of the doctoral thesis of the same name that its author defended at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Valencia, UPV, in 2009.
