Publisher's Synopsis
The Mistress Art is a novel written by Reginald Theodore Blomfield and published in 1908. The book tells the story of a young woman named Sylvia, who is a talented artist but struggles to gain recognition in the male-dominated art world of the time. She falls in love with a wealthy man named Guy, who supports her art but also wants her to give up her career and become his mistress. Sylvia must choose between her passion for art and her love for Guy, all while navigating the societal expectations and limitations placed on women in the early 20th century. The novel explores themes of gender roles, creativity, and the sacrifices one must make for love and success. Blomfield, who was also an architect and art historian, brings his knowledge of the art world to the book, making it a fascinating look into the artistic and social climate of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
