- Summary:
- "Painted Flowers Shouldn't Talk Back tells the story of a suburban women's art collective that painted together in Houston, Texas, from 1970 to 1977. They called themselves the Garden Artists, though their subjects were much more varied than just garden views. Author Margaret Killinger's artful narrative illustrates how these women creatively confronted profound sociocultural challenges through decorative art"-- Provided by publisher.
