Autor/-in: Dorothy Brett

The daughter of Viscount Esher Brett, confidant of Queen Victoria, Dorothy Brett spent six years studying at the Slade School of Art in London and was a member of the Bloomsbury set in England, among whose many luminaries Brett moved when a young woman. She was also gaining recognition as an artist even before she arrived in the American Southwest. But it was there that her true artistic talents emerged and her works now hang in major museums as well as in private collections.
