She has written several acclaimed and best-selling biographies, including her biographies on Dido Elizabeth Belle, Mary Robinson, and Jane Austen. She is also the founder and Chief Executive of ReLit, a charity dedicated to promoting literature for mental health. If you have not yet listened to ArtMuse’s two part episode on Dido Elizabeth Belle, which shares her full life-story, then we encourage you to listen as an accompanying episode to this interview. Season Three of ArtMuse, which explores the life-stories of artist models who were also performers in their own right, will kick off with a two part episode on Mary Robinson. This interview with Paula Byrne, which deep dives into Mary Robinson’s story, is the perfect teaser to ArtMuse's Season Three opener.Dido Elizabeth Belle is considered to be England’s first female aristocrat of color. Dido was born to an enslaved mother and white father. As a child, she was brought from the Caribbean to England, and taken in by her great uncle, Lord Mansfield, who happened to be the most powerful judge in all of England. Dido was thus raised in his home, at Kenwood House, which today is a historical house and museum. As a judge, Lord Mansfield ruled over many important cases pertaining to slavery, and it is believed that Dido’s presence in his home influenced his sympathetic rulings that eventually paved the way for abolition in England. Dido was famously captured in a portrait by David Martin, a copy of which today hangs at Kenwood House in honor of her.Mary Robinson was an 18th century British actress, poet, writer, activist, and intellectual. During her days as a leading actress on Drury Lane, Mary famously caught the eye of the Prince of Wales, whom she had an affair with. Later in life, after a tragic accident that took away her ability to walk, Mary Robinson shifted courses, and became a prolific writer. In her long writing career, Mary wrote several novels, collections of poems, plays, and published essays. Much of her writing was radical by nature and advocated for both women’s rights and the abolition of slavery. In her lifetime, Mary was painted by the renowned portraitists Sir Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, George Romney, and John Hoppner.  Be sure to follow ArtMuse on Instagram & TikTok.

Kiki Man Ray: Art, Love and Rivalry in 1920’s Paris can be ordered online HERE.Mark Braude is the author of three non-fiction books, Kiki Man Ray being his third. He has been a National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar, a visiting fellow at the American Library in Paris, and a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. He is currently based in Vancouver, Canada, where he lives with his family.For those who haven’t yet listened to our episode on Kiki de Montparnasse, Kiki was an artist’s model, performer, painter, actress, and memoirist active in Paris during the roaring twenties. Over her lifetime Kiki became one of the most prolific art models in the history of western art, modeling for many of the best painters of her day, as well as the photographer Man Ray, with whom she shared an eight-year long relationship with. Over the course of their affair, Man Ray took hundreds of photographs of Kiki. Kiki played an integral role in the creation of each of these works, co-collaborating on them with Man Ray, despite receiving no official credit.But Kiki was far more than just Man Ray’s muse. She was also an artist in her own right, and her creativity took many forms. Kiki was an accomplished painter, cabaret performer, and published her own autobiography when she was only twenty-eight years old. Though Kiki de Montparnasse fell into relative obscurity after her death, she deserves to be remembered as the visionary and independent woman she was; a woman who inspired masterpieces by the greatest artists of her age, who painted with unrestrained expression and sang with bravado, whose memoir gained international recognition, and whose free spirit came to symbolize an entire era of European history.   Be sure to follow ArtMuse on Instagram & TikTok.

Her portrait by David is one of the most iconic paintings in the Louvre’s entire collection, and attracts millions of viewers each year. As she reclines on her sofa, a sofa she popularized so much that it now bears her name, she teases us with her curly hair, rosy cheeks, and inscrutable smile. Though her image has been reproduced in countless mediums across the globe, few know that she was one of the most remarkable women of the nineteenth century, and inspired the greatest artists, writers, intellects, and politicians of her day, with not only her unrivaled beauty but with the goodness of her heart. In this episode of ArtMuse, we share the immense life story of Madame Juliette Récamier, a French socialite and famed beauty, affectionately dubbed the “darling of Europe”. In fact, her looks were so enchanting, that she drove some of the most powerful men of all of history wild with desire, including Napoleon Bonaparte, his brother Lucien, and the Prince of Prussia.
