THIS IS INDEED A DRAMATIC WORK OF ART WITH STRONG IF NOT
AWESOME VISUAL
IMPACT, AND EVEN THEN, IT IS MUCH MORE THAN MERELY MEETS THE EYE. THE
VIEWER IS TRANSPORTED TO A SPIRITUALLY
SURREAL PLACE, PERHAPS A
CATHEDRAL IN A DREAM. AWARD-WINNING BRAZILIAN ARTIST RICARDO MOVITS WAS COMMISSIONED TO PAINT THIS PIECE FOR THE COVER OF THE NOVEL BY JOHN GRISWALD, "THE GIRL FROM RUE SERPENTE," A TRAGIC LOVE STORY SET IN FRANCE DURING THE LIBERATION OF PARIS IN WORLD WAR II. THE EROTIC NOVEL IS NOW IN E-BOOK AND CAN BE PURCHASED ON www.amazon.com. THE PAINTING IS ACTUALLY BASED ON A DREAM SEQUENCE OF ONE OF THE LOVERS IN THE NOVEL. "THE GIRL FROM RUE SERPENTE" WAS PAINTED IN 1999, A YEAR BEFORE THE BOOK WAS PUBLISHED. IT MEASURES 36" X 24" AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND NOW HANGS IN HONOLULU, HAWAII. |
