Have you seen the movie Midnight in Paris? I'd imagine that you would like it. It's all about nostalgia and wishing you lived in a different time period and features characters like Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Dalí and Picasso. It's not the best story, but highly enjoyable. Especially if you (like me) wish you lived in the past.
I’d like to go this week but I’ve little money and no one will go with me! Maybe I’ll coerce someone when I’m back in London for a bit the coming weekend. Thanks for the recommendation, everyone speaks very highly of it — Kayley was just telling me the other day how much she loves it.
OK, well, if I’m not mistaken, this was a failed attempt to capture a young French girl named Adriana, from Bordeaux, if my art history serves me, who came to Paris to study costume design for the theater. I’m pretty sure she had an affair with Modigliani, then Braque, which is how Pablo met her. Picasso. Of course, what you don’t getfrom this portrait is the subtlety, and her beauty. She was just a knock-out. I’d hardly call this picture marvelous, it’s more of a petit-bourgeois statement on how Pablo sees her. Saw her. He’s distracted by the fact that she was an absolute volcano in the sack.
yesssssss
