Luhan, Mabel Dodge

Luhan, Mabel Dodge

▪ American biographer
in full  Mabel Ganson Dodge Luhan  
born Feb. 26, 1879, Buffalo, N.Y., U.S.
died Aug. 13, 1962, Taos, N.M.

      American writer whose candid autobiographical volumes contain much information about well-known Americans of her era.

      Luhan's life and writing revolved around the literary, artistic, and political celebrities she gathered about her both in New York and abroad. She later settled in an artists' colony in Taos amid the Pueblo Indians, whom she loved for their simple lifestyle. There her home again became a gathering place for celebrated artists and writers. She devoted herself to recording her relationships with such figures as Gertrude Stein (Stein, Gertrude), John Reed (Reed, John), and Walter Lippmann (Lippmann, Walter), with little regard for propriety or privacy.

      The volumes of Luhan's Intimate Memories are Background (1933), European Experiences (1935), Movers and Shakers (1936), and Edge of Taos Desert (1937). Lorenzo in Taos (1932) provides insight into D.H. Lawrence (Lawrence, D.H.), and Taos and Its Artists (1947) introduces 49 artists and their work.
