About this book
Painters Marie Vassilieff, Émilie Charmy and Suzanne Valadon explored sexuality and questioned gender identity. Working in early twentieth-century Paris, these women contravened social mores, challenged traditional and avant-garde artistic practices and partook in the making of the modern nude.

Reviews
'Cleanly dismantles one of the enduring myths of twentieth-century modernism: that ground zero in advancing the avant-garde was the female nude — as painted in Paris by two men.'
Bridget Quinn, Hyperallergic
'Painting Her Pleasure is a rare treat... the book as a whole adds considerably to current thinking on representations of female pleasure.' - French Studies Journal
