Is it worth hunting for the book "The five keys to the secret world of Remedios Varo " Thanksaurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241266839281239884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841684678223214738.post-84422295311711180942012-05-04T07:06:50.581-07:002012-05-04T07:06:50.581-07:00Ah, I do have the Kaplan and am reading it now - t...Ah, I do have the Kaplan and am reading it now - thanks and I concur: it's very well done. I just thought I was missing the essays in the Five Keys book - someone has it listed on Amazon for five hundred bucks right now, something I cannot pay... I will check in some university libraries soon - thanks, Zoe!Amyhttp://www.amyking.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841684678223214738.post-32465045331882147362012-05-03T12:43:58.596-07:002012-05-03T12:43:58.596-07:00it was craaaazy luck, i know. watch amazon--they c...it was craaaazy luck, i know. watch amazon--they come up, though infrequently...have you seen janet kaplan's book, "unexpected journeys"? i love that book so much, and the writing in it is the best of any of my art books. it's fascinating, and way more affordable.<br />thanks for visiting!!zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526746200112764467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841684678223214738.post-55182224656340018852012-05-03T12:32:05.309-07:002012-05-03T12:32:05.309-07:00Thank you so much for this - I'm interested in...Thank you so much for this - I'm interested in Varo.

I can't even think of buying a book at the moment, but it's nice to think there are some treasures of books out there waiting for me to read at the right moment. <br /><br />One day I was looking at a photo of Au bonheur des dames (Towards the Happiness of Women) in a book and my mother-in-law came in and spied it and saw the title... and she said, "oh yes, I see it... it's about the fire at the Bon Marché department store". Because Zola wrote Au bonheur des dames and it was sort of based on the bon marché in Paris apparently, which did have a fire way back when. And she looked at the clothes and said, "you see, they are burnt, and they are from the style of that day". Anyway, I just thought you might like a very Parisian interpretation too.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you for this lovely post. I always think the world is twice as alive after I read your posts, I think I might have said that before... but it is true, so I guess I'm allowed to repeat myself.yew tree nightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159879472613574800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841684678223214738.post-1248185692415529682011-09-02T09:34:30.359-07:002011-09-02T09:34:30.359-07:00magnifique.. je vais revenir pour mieux comprendre...magnifique.. je vais revenir pour mieux comprendre..! mon anglais n' est pas formidable!ELFIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709697150109137719noreply@blogger.com
