Book Synopsis
A young girl forms a special connection to the modernist painter Florine Stettheimer, and imagines herself joining in on Florine?s exciting life.

When a young girl visits the museum, she finds an unexpected friend in a self-portrait of Florine Stettheimer. They?re both artists; they both have Jewish families; they even look alike!

Florine?s life was wild and glamorous. She painted people in flight and buildings that grew from the ground like crooked trees, bright colors and shapes and animals. She threw parties frequented by other famous visionaries like Marcel Duchamp and Carl Van Vechten.

Soon, our narrator is dreaming up her own fantastical parties for Florine, with table spreads of colorful treats, and painting and dancing and poetry. With Florine in her life, even a rainy day can?t make the world seem humdrum anymore.

A Party for Florine is an unapologetically whimsical fan letter to an artist whose influence is clear in Sydney Taylor Honoree Yevgenia Nayberg?s captivating illustrations. Dreamers, creators, and budding modernists will be drawn into the young protagonist?s party just as strongly as she is drawn into Stettheimer?s paintings.
