Some of My LivesSome of My Lives

a Scrapbook Memoir

Bernier, RosamondBernier, Rosamond

Title rated 3.65 out of 5 stars, based on 3 ratings(3 ratings)

Rosamond Bernier has lived an unusually full life--remarkable for its vividness and diversity of experience--and she has known many (one is tempted to say all) of the greatest artists and composers of the twentieth century.

In Some of My Lives , Bernier has made a kind of literary scrapbook from an extraordinary array of writings, ranging from diary entries to her many contributions to the art journal L'OEIL , which she cofounded in 1955. The result is a multifaceted self-portrait of a life informed and surrounded by the arts.

Through the stories of her encounters with some of the twentieth century's great artists and composers--including Pablo Picasso, Leonard Bernstein, Max Ernst, Aaron Copeland, Malcolm Lowry, and Karl Lagerfeld--we come to understand the sheer richness of Bernier's experiences, interactions, and memories. The result is pithy, hilarious, and wise--a richly rewarding chronicle of many lives

Rosamond Bernier: 1916 - 2016

Born in Philadelphia of an American father and an English mother, Rosamond Bernier was educated in France, in England and at Sarah Lawrence College. She then lived for some years in Mexico, where she flew her own airplane and raised a small private zoo.

After World War II she spent more than twenty years in Paris, initially as European features editor for VOGUE magazine. She became friends with the masters of the School of Paris: Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Max Ernst and Alberto Giacometti. She knew them as few foreigners did, and when she founded the art magazine L'OEIL in 1955 they did all they could to help her.
