Candid Coming-of-Age Memoir Follows Artist Elaine
Marinoff from LA to NY City's Art Scene
1888PressRelease - Accomplished artist's life
speaks louder than her work in Treasures, The
Memoir of an Artist. NEW YORK Divorced after
21 years of marriage, critically acclaimed
painter Elaine Marinoff becomes a key player in
the New York art scene at age 53, when her erotic
series of paintings hidden for decades in a
basement are discovered by a dealer who
proclaims, Weve found your treasures! Treasure
s The Memoir of an Artist follows Marinoff from
art school in Paris to an oppressive mid-century
Los Angeles marriage to a young doctor just out
of medical school. When she divorces him, she
leaves Los Angeles permanently and heads for New
York, where she finds her true genius is not just
for art, but for thriving as a mother, artist,
and sensual lover of life. The book,
unflinchingly honest and oftentimes humorous,
reveals the social and artistic constraints faced
by women of her generation the housewives of
the 60s and 70s and how Marinoff thrived in
this time of transition to become a model to
modern females everywhere. My mom let adventure
rather than conventions define her on her
journey, explained Marinoffs son, Glendon Good.
My hope is that Treasures will inspire readers
to discover their true self and live
authentically, no matter what obstacles or
oppressive forces they face. Called a
feminist, the definition of female
individualism, and brave by reviewers of
Treasures, Marinoffs memoir delivers a
captivating message that resonates as loudly and
clearly today as it did at the height of her
career.
