The Gilded Age of the United States - a time of dazzling prosperity and decorative opulence at the close of the nineteenth century - inspired an equally extravagant artistic outpouring, particularly in portraiture of high-society women. Depicting women dressed in lush ball gowns, with regal bearing and beguiling expressions, these portraits were acquired in large numbers by the French government of the era. Paintings by celebrated American artists such as John White Alexander, Thomas Eakins, William T. Dannat, and John Singer Sargent and photographs taken by Gertrude Kasebier, George Henry Seeley, Edward Steichen, and Clarence H. White remain in French public collections today, and they are the subject of the Musee d'Art Americain Giverny exhibition "Portrait of a Lady". This accompanying volume, with texts in both French and English, includes eighty full-color reproductions of these portraits and provides critical insight into the varied representations of femininity in art." Portrait of a Lady" brings a new perspective to the Gilded Age, revealing it as a period of fruitful exchange between French and American artists, between painting and photography, between tradition and avant-garde - all linked to the myth of "woman," a myth that is both eternal and constantly changing.

读后感
看完了书，把坎皮恩的同名电影找出来重看了一遍，有趣的是导演在处理女主角和奥斯蒙德的恋情上突出了性的吸引，后者将女儿抱在腿上，手指抚摸女儿的手背给了女主很大的刺激，这是个很好玩的视角，因为原著给我的感觉完全是反的，不远万里随君行的美国追求者反而最有男子气概，...
评分读这本书前几章时，乃至整部小说的阅读过程中，我常常几乎以为自己打开的是简·奥斯汀的第七本小说（类似她的女同胞J·K·罗琳，最厚的一本）。的确，这位在他72岁时终于加入英国国籍的美国人，在小说开篇时以优雅闲适的语言——这语言常被认为是不可翻译的，但博尔赫斯说：“...

评分《一位女士的画像》这本书并不在我的阅读计划中。亨利·詹姆斯虽然鼎鼎大名，但我只是知道他写过《小说的艺术》。（另一个例子是E·M·福斯特，同样鼎鼎大名，写过《小说面面观》。） 读了序言之后，虽然不觉得怎么样，但还是决定把它读完。厚达700页的书，却清新流畅，可以一...
评分Henry James受George Eliot影响非常明显，喜欢借助大量细腻的心理刻画来塑造人物性格，但他失败之处在于缺乏足够的对话和行动支撑，人物形象过于抽象，远远不及George Eliot笔下的人物生动饱满，甚至人物性格的定位也缺乏说服力。尤其主角的portrait，本来就因为视角繁...
