Helpful Score: 4

I was fascinted by this book, chosen by my library's reading club. It took me longer than usual to read because I kept refering back to the painting to connect names and lives with faces. I considered the amount of research necessary by Ms. Vreeland on not just the history but the actual painting techniques, and it had to be considerable. She painted with her words, showing me an artist's mind and also that of the models themselves. This book made me look up our local art museum to see if any Impressionist, particularly Renoir, works are here. I will go see them, and look for more Vreeland works of art as well.
