""Marion Greenwood was one of the leading figurative artists of the 1930s and 1940s, and a pioneering muralist to boot. Isamu Noguchi, Diego Rivera, Josephine Herbst, Winold Reiss, and many others are present [in these pages] as well, making this fast-paced yet carefully researched biography essential reading for anyone interested in American art and culture of the period."" --James Oles, author of Art and Architecture in Mexico ""Drawing on a rich trove of letters and primary sources, Joanne Mulcahy provides a lively and colorful account of painter Marion Greenwood's life and career. Mulcahy is an excellent storyteller, and her writing easily draws the reader into Greenwood's world."" --Jennifer Jolly, author of Creating Pátzcuaro, Creating Mexico: Art, Tourism, and Nation Building under Lázaro Cárdenas ""This thorough account of the life and work of Marion Greenwood is a monumental achievement and a significant addition to the growing library of work surrounding overlooked women in the history of art. The research is impeccable and the revelations via unpublished sources and interviews with still-living individuals are invaluable."" --Bridget Quinn, author of Portrait of a Woman: Art, Rivalry, and Revolution in the Life of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard
