- catalog abstract ""Since the early nineteenth century, the Bohemian has been the hero of the story the West has wanted to hear about its artists: a story of genius, glamour and doom. He is variously the artist dying in poverty like Chatterton or Modigliani, a successful self-destroyer like Jackson Pollock, a celebrity like Augustus John. Elizabeth Wilson's remarkable, enjoyable Bohemians is a quest for the many shifting meanings that constitute bohemianism." "She tells the best of stories, with a huge cast of characters among the artists, intellectuals, radicals and hangers-on who populated the salons, bars and cafes of Paris, London, New York and West Coast America. She follows the women who contributed to the myth - the wives and mistresses, muses, lesbians and independent artists. She explores the Bohemians' eccentric use of dress, the role of sex and erotic love, their search for excess and their intransigent politics. She further shows how, instead of disappearing, Bohemia is at the core of the most heated cultural debates at the start of a new millennium."--Jacket.".
