“The All-time Ultimate Gallery of Famous Dykes”

[K] Truman Capote on Romaine Brooks’ portraits - admittedly, he does have a point: pictured you see

• Ida Rubinstein (1885-1960): dancer (for Ballet Russes among others),  bisexual, with a taste for scandal on and off stage and 3-year affair with Romaine Brooks
• Gluck (Hannah Gluckstein) (1895-1978): gender-bending painter with a vast selection of female lovers
• Lady Una Troubridge (1887-1963): writer, translator and partner of Radclyffe Hall
• Lily de Gramont (1875-1954): aristocrat, writer and long-term partner of Natalie Clifford Barney
• Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972): novelist, poet, owner of a salon in Paris, where all the cool kids (=lesbians) hang out, lover of almost every famous lesbian of that generation including the women mentioned above and below

And finally:

• Romaine Brooks herself (1874 - 1970): painter (obviously) and long-term partner of writer Natalie Clifford Barney
