Old Time Tales
That was so cool, wasn't it! I tried to find a photo of Hemingway standing next to a woman on a ladder. No joy. I bet it is out there somewhere.

“Pablo recognizes the brushwork and cramped composition, but also how both something torturous and transcendent are conveyed. He’s seen this artist before. “This is that painter you spoke of with Manyac on the first day, the deranged one with syphilis.”
Luke Jerod Kummer, The Blue Period

“Pablo recognizes the brushwork and cramped composition, but also how both something torturous and transcendent are conveyed. He’s seen this artist before. “This is that painter you spoke of with Manyac on the first day, the deranged one with syphilis.” “So some venereologist says. The fellow’s name was Vincent. Gave him a showing a few”

“The buildings, limned in black, are the same vivid blues as the painting’s sky—Prussian, ultramarine, cobalt. Lanterns in their windows create little boxy panes of bright yellow. Above the horizon, amid spinning eddies of foreboding cloud, shine bright, magnificent stars. Pablo examines them from only a couple of inches away and can tell they were made from quick, curving flicks of the artist’s wrist using thick impasto. There is an urgency in these manic brushstrokes that Pablo admires, the whirling together of rapid streaks of pure bold color squeezed straight from the tube. The blues are intense, the mood rueful, throbbing, eternal. “Don’t punch a hole through the thing, would you? It’s not mine,” squawks Vollard, suddenly at the entranceway behind Pablo. “Just a little something borrowed from a collector friend.” “I have never seen anything like it,” Pablo, still mesmerized, says at last. “I expect not,” Vollard replies. “If you can paint the same, though, perhaps you’ll become rich before this man’s estate does. A Dutchman, dead now, a suicide, I believe. They never found”

“midnight it is in full bloom, and by morning it is gone.”
Annette Gendler, Jumping Over Shadows: A Memoir

Luke Jerod Kummer
“Hanging on the opposite wall is a painting, the only one down here. It’s hard to tell if the object in the canvas’s foreground is a giant cypress or a towering black flame. Pablo gathers nearer. There is so much movement within the picture frame, he finds he cannot stare at any single point for long. In the distance behind the dark spire in the center, though, there’s a valley with little houses nestled around a high-steepled church, not unlike scenes Pablo witnessed from the train window as he rode”
