The Queen of Bohemia

Portraits of Welsh writer and artist Nina Hamnett, known for larger than life personality and her many love affairs with both men and women in the artist community. She drank heavily and once danced nude on a Montparnasse café table just for the "hell of it".

In 1932 Hamnett published Laughing Torso, a tale of her bohemian life, and 23 years later released a follow-up book titled Is She a Lady?.

During the last years of her life she spent a good deal of time drinking. She died at age 66 after a fall from a window. It is not known whether it was accidental or a suicide.

❤️‍🔥Couples❤️‍🔥

American artist William Henry Johnson and Danish textile artist Holcha Krake married in 1930. The union was to have a strong influence on Johnson’s art as Holcha’s folk art, rooted in the past, become an inspiration for Johnson’s future works

After their marriage, the couple spent the next eight years in rural Denmark and Norway, taking trips across Europe, however, with the rise of Nazi influence in Europe, the couple chose to make their way to the United States in 1938. It was here that Johnson’s work began to focus more heavily on his African American roots.

Holcha passed away in America in 1944 aged 58 years. Willie died in 1970 at age 69
