Brooks, Inez Helena Seibert, 1914-1988,

Inez Seibert was a modernist painter who married Van Wyck Brooks's son Charles Van Wyck Brooks in 1936, at the age of twenty-two. She continued to paint, under the tutelege Arthur Dove, before moving to France with Charles (1937-1939). On returning to the United States, she and Charles moved to California, where they had a son, Peter (b. 1940), and she continued to paint. By the late 1940s, Inez was showing symptoms of schizophrenia (then untreatable), and the couple separated and divorced (1948-1949). Inez was institutionalized for the remaining years of her life, and died in 1988.
