description: A New York Times Bestselling AuthorAfter writing two novels in which artists are the central heroines in their stories, Susan Vreeland has written a deeply moving, richly textured collection of stories that explore art through the eyes of ordinary people. Rather than focusing directly on great Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, Vreeland shifts her lens to those on the periphery - their lovers, servants, children, and neighbors - showing their personal stories as they play ou against the artists' lives.
