Moore interprets Margarett's madness as manic-depression, the inevitable result of conflict between art and female obligation in upper-class, old-family Boston." She revisits venerable family landscapes of the Hunnewells and Sargents near Boston; Margarett's early bohemian studios in Maine, Connecticut and New York; and the sanitarium where Margarett spent her last decades in electroshock therapy. Moore also unearths the dramatic sculptures, drawings and paintings that abruptly stopped when the artist was in her early 40s.
