Brushstroke! The story Alice Goldfarb Marquis switched to fiction to tell

Alice Goldfarb Marquis was a fearless master of non-fiction whose books about the art world made headlines, notably Alfred H. Barr Jr: Missionary to the Modern, her revealing biography of the director of the Museum of Modern Art. Unbeknownst to the general public, Goldfarb also wrote a novel about the art world - from all apparences a roman à clef - which she was never able to get published during her lifetime.  It fell to her friend, Larry Jarvik, to bring the novel out, years after her death.
