520 $aDefying social and family expectations, the wealthy, often eccentric Alice Pike Barney (1857-1931) zestfully committed herself to the arts and became known for her lively art salons, bohemian lifestyle, and unusual family.
520 8 $aAlice and her counterparts in other cities represented a new social type: women who lived proper upper-class lives but did not follow the rules using their wealth and privilege to buy themselves freedoms and to promote causes the rich did not customarily embrace. As an artist, writer, theater director, philanthropist, civic leader, and patron of the arts, Alice moved in the turn-of-the-century artistic circles of Paris, London, and Washington, D.C.
520 8 $aThroughout Alice's life, which often seemed a dramatic play of her own writing, she encountered a brilliant cast of characters: among them Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, and the legendary explorer Henry Morton Stanley, whose impassioned offer of marriage she rejected. Her easygoing personality and charming wit dazzled the artistic circles she traversed with such ease, winning the friendship of Anna Pavlova, Sarah Bernhardt, Ruth St. Denis, and Emma Calve, among many others.
520 8 $aShortly after she turned nineteen, Alice accepted the marriage proposal of Gilded Age-industrialist, Albert Clifford Barney. Throughout their married life, Albert encouraged Alice to work at her social position rather than her artistic pursuits. Her stubborn refusal to compromise her ideals infuriated him and led to continuous conflict.
520 8 $aThey led separate lives for much of their marriage, Albert eventually drinking himself into an early grave, while Alice raised their two daughters, Natalie and Laura, and established her salon in Europe and the United States.
520 8 $aAlice began seriously painting during the Barneys' first trip to Paris in 1883, studying with Charles Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran, a master portrait painter. She continued painting on her return to the United States, winning accolades and a congressional commission, that shocked Washington society, who found it unseemly that a woman of wealth and social standing would paint at all. She pursued the arts all her life, exhibiting a rare versatility between the fine arts and the performing arts.
520 8 $aAfter Albert's death, and during her subsequent marriage to Christian Hemmick, a man thirty years her junior, Alice devoted herself to the arts and converting Washington, D.C., from a cultural backwater to a true capital of the arts.
520 8 $aAmong her other accomplishments, Alice designed and built what was considered an anomaly in her time, a studio house intended to provide a focus for the arts and artists of Washington, D.C. The Studio House, as she called it, became the base for her manipulation of Washington culture. However, foremost in Alice's intentions in building Studio House, was her desire to show others how to live artistically.
520 8 $aTo this day, Studio House exists as one of the few extant examples of a turn-of-the-century artist's studio residence. With illustrations of her most important paintings as well as archival black-and-white photographs, this biography adds a significant chapter to the history of women in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
