Music's Modern Muse
A Life of Winnaretta
Singer, Princesse de Polignac
SYLVIA KAHAN
 A
biography of Winnaretta Singer-Polignac, heiress to the
Singer Sewing Machine fortune, who befriended and subsidized
some of the most important musical and literary artists of
the 20th Century, including Stravinsky, Proust, Ravel,
Cocteau, and Colette.
This is a book to be
referred to again and again...an authoritative study that
will give any interested reader an overview of a fascinating
artistic epoch with a complex and intriguing survivor at its
helm. Underneath the forbidding exterior, "Aunt Winnie" was
a sensitive and selfless philanthropist, both acutely
perceptive of genuine talent in others and wide-ranging in
her patronage. These aspects shine clearly through the mine
of detailed information in Sylvia Kahan's important new
study. Robert Orledge, Times Literary Supplement |
