so-so2.5/5
I liked the 1st part when she puts into context the sculpture, when she gives info about Degas which offers a better understanding of the work itself, and its harsh reception at the time.
I didn't like the digressions: pointless comparison of hardship, emotional judgements... These made it harder to read. I would have preferred more emotional distance from the writer, more structure too. In the
end, we don't know much more about the model
pickAhh I have a new love affair, the magical, wild & fiercely individual Leonora Carrington. Once lover & muse of surrealist Max Ernst she forged on & created a fabulous body of work & never bothered to hang about in galleries to say “look at me I‘m a surrealist”. Yet another woman overlooked by art history but thankfully brought back to life by distant family relation & author Joanna Moorhead. 🖤
Even my French is up to translating this...*

Yesterday my son & I enjoyed another #makingmemories day in NYC.The cold,damp,& rain did not deter us! We took a 6:10 a.m. Amtrak train to the Metro North line which let us out at Grand Central Station.Breakfast for me was 2 mini bacon quiches & Starbucks coffee. Perfect start to my day! The MET exhibit was truly breathtaking. I love how the drawings, etchings, & oil paintings took us through Friedrich‘s artistic & spiritual life chronologically.
None of the books that I read wholly within March were noteworthy, so the tagged book is one of the favorites I finished in March. I need to get a copy so I have a reference of artists that I want to treasure hunt in museums.
I did also greatly enjoy Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.
