Optic Nerve
Maria Gainza; Thomas Bunstead (translated from the Spanish);Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag, mooi exemplaar, geen naam voorin nette omslag. Nagenoeg als nieuw, Like New.
The narrator of Optic Nerve is an Argentinian woman whose obsession is art. The story of her life is the story of the paintings, and painters, who matter to her. Her intimate, digressive voice guides us through a gallery of moments that have touched her. In these pages, El Greco visits the Sistine Chapel and is appalled by Michelangelo’s bodies. The mystery of Rothko’s refusal to finish murals for the Seagram Building in New York is blended with the story of a hospital in which a prostitute walks the halls while the narrator’s husband receives chemotherapy. Alfred de Dreux visits Géricault’s workshop; Gustave Courbet’s devilish seascapes incite viewers “to have sex, or to eat an apple”. Picasso organizes a cruel banquet in Rousseau’s honor... All of these fascinating episodes in art history interact with the narrator’s life in Buenos Aires―her family and work, her loves and losses, her infatuations and disappointments. The effect is of a character refracted by environment, composed by the canvases she studies.
