A Party for Florine
Florine Stettheimer and Me
A girl becomes enchanted by American modernist painter Florine Stettheimer in this picture book for budding creatives. On a visit to a museum, the girl is drawn to the Stettheimer self-portrait, whom she bears a resemblance to; she later discovers other commonalities they share, including Jewish heritage. As she learns more about Stettheimer’s world—both on the canvas and in the lavish parties she threw–the girl discovers the transformative power of art to make even the mundane fantastical.
