Clara Tice
Clara Tice is known as the “Queen of Greenwich Village” due to the role her erotic and revolutionary illustrations played in the Bohemian/modernist scene of Greenwich Village during the 1910s and 1920s. Her illustrations, many of which depicted nude women and animals, simultaneously caused controversy and were celebrated. Tice exercised her artistic ability in all of the careers she pursued throughout her life, ranging from set designer to children’s book editor.
Natalie Clifford Barney
Barney established a salon at her home that brought together artists of all nationalities, literary movements, and sexual identities; Joan Schenkar, a biographer of Barney’s lover Dorothy Wilde, calls it “the most subversive literary salon that ever existed.”
