Indeed, she often surpassed them in terms of the praise showered on her when she exhibited in New York and Gloucester during the interwar years. Eclipsed at midcentury, as so many other women artists were, she is today recognized as a leading artist of the early twentieth-century urban scene.”—Patricia Hills, professor of art history at Boston University and the author of \u003ci\u003ePainting Harlem Modern: The Art of Jacob Lawrence \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Based on extensive research, this important book illuminates the compelling life and work of American realist painter Theresa Bernstein.
