EuropaEditions

Mona's Eyes | Thomas Schlesser

Once upon a time I went to Paris on my honeymoon and went to the Louvre & Orsay, then 3 years later we went again on a self funded leave from school with a 2 yr old and then again in 2015 with a 16 yr old and an almost 13yr old. This time we made it to Beaubourg. This book is a reward for all my painting. I think I might do a chapter a day with it if anyone wants to join. My painting isn‘t done yet - maybe September 1 start? #europaeditions

Gleefulreader I am SO excited to be doing the #europacollective! I love what they publish. Like NYRB or Charco or Archipelago… just a bit more variety than traditional publishing houses these days. 2mo

BarbaraBB I have to check their catalog to come up with some suggestions to read! @Lesliereadsalot 2mo

Lesliereadsalot They have several new books out that sound great! @BarbaraBB 2mo

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.
In which Francis starts losing his vision & and seems to spend all this time in opium dens…

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.

BarbaraBB That last sentence says it all 🤣 2mo

squirrelbrain I agree entirely! 2mo

Lesliereadsalot You‘d really have to be like these people to actually like these people! 2mo

tpixie Well said! 2mo
