Born around the time of the Civil War to German Jewish immigrants, the Cone sisters (never married) inherited money from their father's business. Younger Etta discovers a passion for art; she begins collecting and teaches Claribel what she has learned. The book is illustrated with reproductions and original pictures that are strong enough to work side-by-side with those of Picasso and Matisse. Bib.
