Chapter 8: The Shadow Is More Beautiful Than The Academy
🎈For the 1st time, a painter has painted something that doesn‘t represent ANYTHING. Before Picasso. Before Kandinsky.

so-so#EuropaEditions are usually hits for me but this one fell short. I also had such high hopes after loving The Postcard by the same author (one of the two). I just couldn‘t get over how selfish the titular character was presented…by her great grandchildren no less! Obsessed with her husband and they‘re both into the art scene around the turn of the century but totally uninterested in their offspring. Lots of name dropping and little parenting.

Chapter 6 left me even more totally disgusted with both Francis and Gabriële.
while looking for his paintings mentioned at the end of the chapter, I did find one of his last impressionist inspired paintings, which was rather lovely
