The masterpiece : a novel

Davis, Fiona, 1966- author

Overview

\"It is 1928, and twenty-five-year-old Clara is teaching at the lauded Grand Central School of Art. A talented illustrator, she has dreams of creating cover art for Vogue, but not even the prestige of the school can override the public's disdain for a 'woman artist.' ... She and her bohemian friends have no idea that they'll soon be blindsided by the looming Great Depression, an insatiable monster with the power to destroy the entire art scene. Nearly fifty years later, in 1974, the terminal has declined almost as sharply as Virginia Clay's life. Full of grime and danger ... Grand Central is at the center of a fierce lawsuit: is the once-grand building a landmark to be preserved, or a cancer to be demolished?\"-- Provided by publisher.
