People: Leslie Caron
Paul in London (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009

He sat...

Learning Curve on the Ecliptic (Free subscription) | 10/02/2009
I can almost hear a passing reader mumbling "Who the heck is he then?" I said the same when the husband handed me a copy of an old "Réalités" magazine from 1960. The cover bore an image of the painting shown at left. "There's an artist who might be a good subject for you", said the ever helpful spouse, "that painting has always attracted me". "A...
