[Jane · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three things charmed me about this quartet of short stories. First, The elegant gray cover with a beribboned trio of palette knife,brushes and golden tube of paint. Second, Janvier took the names for all his characters right off the palette box on the book's spine: Rose Carthame; Violet Madder; VanDyke Brown; Jaune d'Orpiment; Mr. Gamboge: McGilp etc. And then for the setting he chose Greenwich village ca. 1885 - the year the book was published. His descriptions of the exhibitions, artists' studios, the mise-en-scene of the New York art world of the day is a peep through the keyhole into the past.
