A critical and commercial success since the 1970s, Jennifer Bartlett (b. 1941) has become one of the most visionary and influential artists of our time. In the words of New York Times critic John Russell, Bartlett’s art “enlarges our notion of time, and of memory, and of change, and of painting itself.” Her abundant intelligence and inventiveness allow her to synthesize diverse sources and styles, and imbue her paintings with expressive life and moral imagination. Included in this handsome volume are an intimate interview with the artist and an excerpt from History of the Universe, Bartlett’s first novel, giving further insight into the thought processes of this uniquely creative artist.

I’m Chai Devareaux. By day, I’m your average senior at Miami’s South Beach High. I love hanging with my friends at the beach, and I work hard to keep up my grades so I can get in Columbia University in the fall. But every afternoon and night? I transform into the model in front of the camera with the smoky eyes, perfectly styled hair, and fitted designer clothes. I’m the girl in all the hottest clubs where the beautiful people frequent and the fashion photographers gather. I’m the girl who everyone else wants to be. The problem is it’s not my dream. I want to be a doctor. But try telling that to my mother, 80’s supermodel icon, Claire-Ann Devareaux, a hard-living, hard-loving plastic surgery addict who’s still chasing what’s left of the limelight. And it makes my life a living headache. Even hooking up with hot teen supermodel Ty Willingham hands me more challenges than ever. Yeah, I might look like I have it made, but it’s just the role I play. I’m such a poser. Warning: contains mature content, 18+.
