The artist is interesting but the book itself was not well written. It seemed disorganized and repetitive.

Good overview of her pretty amazing life. I don't know that I really needed so much back story on her husbands and lovers, they just weren't overall that important to the story. Felt like it could use some editing, but at the same time, I really appreciated getting to know this artist better.
