British painter Dorothy Brett attended the Slade School of Art
where she became friends with other Bloomsbury artists. In 1924 she travelled
with D.H. and Frieda Lawrence to America, where Brett eventually settled in
Taos, New Mexico. The collection comprises a large accumulation of letters
written to Brett over her adult life including correspondence with Frieda
Lawrence, Spud Johnson, Georgia O'Keefe, and Leopold Stokowski. Also present
are a few manuscripts and some personal papers.

Biographical Sketch
Dorothy Eugenie Brett, born in 1883, was the eldest daughter of the 2nd
Viscount Esher, Reginald Baliol Brett, and his wife Eleanor. Besides Dorothy,
called Doll by her family, there were two older
brothers, Oliver and Maurice, and a younger sister, Sylvia. The children were
raised in a restrictive manner similar to other children of the Victorian era.
They saw little of their parents, being largely left in the charge of a nanny
and other servants. Once the boys were sent to school, a governess was retained
for the girls. However, she was dismissed after a short time and the girls'
education was left to their mother.
The girls lived a fairly secluded life into their early twenties. Aside
from dancing classes with the royal children at nearby Windsor Castle, under
the supervision of no less than Queen Victoria, their contact with young people
their own age was practically nonexistent. One friendship that they did make
was with Margaret Brook, Ranee of Sarawak, a friendship disapproved of by the
Brett parents. Over ten years Dorothy formed an emotional attachment to the
Ranee, and Sylvia attracted the attention of the Ranee's son, whom she later
married against the wishes of her parents. The parents put an end to Dorothy's
visits to the Ranee when she was 23, sending her off to their summer home in
Scotland. There, an old friend of the family saw some of Dorothy's drawings and
persuaded her parents that she should attend the Slade School of Art.
Dorothy Brett was accepted into the Slade School, on a provisional
basis, in the fall of 1910. Fellow students at the time included Dora
Carrington, Mark Gertler, and David Bomberg. In the tradition of the school,
all students dropped their given names and went by their surnames, and so
Dorothy became Brett to everyone but her family and went by that name for the
rest of her life. Brett completed the four year program at Slade, winning
several prizes and honors in her sojourn there. At the end of her second year,
Brett's father set her up in a studio of her own, partly to help her
artistically and partly to move her out of the family home in town where the
servants had begun to complain about the goings on
of Brett's artistic friends.
Several important events took place in Brett's life during her school
years. She began to develop the auditory problems that would leave her
dependent on hearing aids for the rest of her life. She became friends with
Gertler,Carrington and Augustus John and, in 1914, she met Lady Ottoline
Morrell. In October of 1915 Brett met D.H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda.
Over the next several years Brett spent a great deal of time at the
Morrell's Garsington Manor along with members of the Bloomsbury group. She
seems to have developed a crush on Ottoline which led to voluminous
correspondence but little else. In 1919 Brett's parents helped set her up in a
house in Hampstead, London, arranged for an annual allowance, and made a final
effort to push her into independence.
In 1923 D.H. and Frieda Lawrence returned to England from North America,
thus setting in motion the second phase of Brett's life. Lawrence had been
proposing the creation of a community called Rananim for several years without
success. He felt that he had found the perfect location for such a spot in
Taos, New Mexico, and was now actively seeking members. Only John Middleton
Murry and Brett seriously considered the idea and in the spring of 1924, only
Brett joined the Lawrences on the
Aquatania bound for New York.
Taos became Brett's home. Though she traveled frequently to Mexico, New
York, and even made a few trips back to Europe, her roots were firmly planted
in New Mexico. She developed a strong emotional attachment to D.H. Lawrence,
and after Lawrence's death continued to live in near Frieda for the remainder
of Frieda's life. Mable Dodge Luhan, another prominent figure in Taos, also
played an important role in Brett's life, alternating between protector and
antagonist. In New Mexico Brett painted Native Americans. She was permitted to
visit the Pueblo for important ceremonies and then transferred the images to
canvas, creating a series of paintings for which she is perhaps best known, the
Ceremonials. Her close relationship to D.H. Lawrence made her popular with the
researchers who sought to better understand his life. She lived to within a few
months of her 94th birthday, dying on August 24th, 1977.
Scope and Contents
Letters received by Brett make up the bulk of the Dorothy Brett
Collection, 1898-1968, augmented by a few outgoing letters, two works by Brett,
and a sampling of bills, receipts, and royalty statements. The collection is
organized into four series, within which materials are arranged alphabetically
by title or author: I. Works, 1930, nd, (.5 box), II. Letters, 1922-1959 (.5
box), III. Recipient, 1898-1967 (14 boxes), and IV. Miscellaneous, 1902-1968 (2
boxes). This collection was previously accessible through a card catalog, but
has been re-cataloged as part of a retrospective conversion project.
The Works Series contains two typescripts of Brett's memoir of her
relationship with D.H. Lawrence,
Lawrence and Brett (1933), edited by her in
pencil. Also included in this series is an article Brett wrote, also about her
memories of Lawrence, titled
Kiowa.
The Letters Series is small, containing one folder of letters from Brett
to Dorothy Hopkins and one folder of letters to various individuals. The
Recipient Series represents the majority of the collection and includes letters
to Brett from people with whom she corresponded about D.H. Lawrence, about her
paintings, from other artists living in Taos, and containing friendly gossip in
general, as well as accumulations of letters from Ernst Auerbach, Kyle
Crichton, Robert Davidson, Esher family members, Mark Gertler, William Goyen,
Spud Johnson, Frieda Lawrence, Fania Marinoff, Georgia O'Keeffe, Mae Porter,
Leopold Stokowski, and Frank Waters. An Index of Correspondents, arranged
alphabetically by name, is located at the end of this guide.
The Miscellaneous Series completes the collection with some of Brett's
business papers, including receipts, bills, insurance forms, and shipping forms
for various pieces of art. Also included are poems by Dorothy Norman, a
typescript of
Mabel in Taos by Dorothy Hoskins, letters
from Spud Johnson and Mabel Luhan to Dorothy Hoskins, and letters between
Brett's various friends and acquaintances.

Dorothy Brett Collection--Index of Correspondents
Index entries that include the notation (from Brett) indicate that the
person is the recipient of correspondence from Dorothy Brett.
In general, the box and folder number are followed by the recipient of
the letter(s) and the date of the letter(s) when known. Where there is no
number, there is only one letter. So in the example
Anderson, Chilton--2.3 (16 to Brett, 1951-1955)
Anderson sent 16 letters to Brett between the years 1951 and 1955 and
they are located in box 2, folder 3.
When a correspondent received as well as sent letters, or sent letters
to more than one recipient, the sender and/or recipients are listed beneath the
name of the sender and the date or span of dates of the correspondence are
followed by the box and folder number. So in the example
- Art News--
- to Brett, 1956--2.2
- to Mae Porter, 1958--16.2
The magazine
Art News sent 1 letter to Brett in 1956,
located in box 2, folder 2, and one letter to Mae Porter in 1958, which is
located in Box 16, folder 2.
