What is Forever Seeing New Beauties about?

<P>Revolutionary artist Mary Rogers Williams (1857—1907), a baker's daughter from Hartford, Connecticut, biked and hiked from the Arctic Circle to Naples, exhibited from Paris to Indianapolis, trained at the Art Students League, chafed against art world rules that favored men, wrote thousands of pages about her travels and work, taught at Smith College for nearly two decades, but sadly ended up almost totally obscure. The book reproduces her unpublished artworks that capture pensive gowned women, Norwegian slopes reflected in icy waters, saw-tooth rooflines on French chateaus, and incense hazes in Italian chapels, and it offers a vivid portrayal of an adventurer, defying her era's expectations.</P> Cover 2 Title Page 6 Copyright 7 Dedication 8 Contents 9 Introduction: The Funny Way I Stumbled upon Her 12 Notes on Methodology 18 1 Why She Matters 21 2 A Cosmopolitan Emerges 31 3 No Salvation but by Hard Work 46 4 Conveying the Rudiments of Art 57 5 Art, Her Boss’s Jealous Mistress 68 6 A Rare Dear Overseas 72 7 Wholly in Pale Tints 90 8 He Certainly Is Unregenerate 97 9 Strange and Beautiful Things 104 10 Misfit in This Workaday World 113 11 A Pastel Every Five Minutes 119 12 To Exh
