[edit] Millay
I removed references to Barnes having a relationship with Edna St. Vincent Millay because I could find no mention of it either in Phillip Herring's biography of Barnes (the only comprehensive bio of her, I think?) or in Daniel Mark Epstein's biography of Millay. The only cited reference for a Millay/Barnes affair is [1], which actually says Barnes and Millay "had a strained relationship... partly because Millay embarked on an affair with Barne's partner, the sculptress Thelma Woods." I don't think "strained relationship" there necessarily means a romantic one, and in any case this is a self-published website. Here is the paragraph I removed, in case someone can find a verifiable source:
"It was during this time that Barnes became secretly involved with poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. Millay and Barnes were also incredibly jealous of one another, and neither was faithful. Possibly in response to Barnes being involved with both Millay and Wood, Millay also became involved romantically with Wood, and allowed the fact that she was involved with both to come to light. Upon discovery of this, it spawned one of the greatest fights between Wood and Barnes." --Celithemis 07:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Something wrong with this caption?
The caption on the final image in this article seems off.
Jacques-Louis David's portrait of Madame Récamier. Creatures in an Alphabet describes a lounging seal as
Madame Récamier, on side, (if such she has), and bottom out.
What? I don't get it. –Justin Force 09:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
