Original purchase was a fluke - trying to figure out wife's best painting-series I happened upon this book at going out of bs sale. After reading, passed it on to wife who also fell in love with author's unique word-picture narrative like we have never experienced.

This is another one I thought I could read in transit, and it was pretty good for that-- a collection of ideas, stories, overheard conversations et al dealing with the painter Watteau, arranged alphabetically and grouped around key terms (so that A has entries on Actors, Antony, and Art-for-Art's-Sake). At first I honestly didn't think too much of it, in part because I'm not sure I'm completely sold on Watteau as a painter, as much as I'd like to be.
