You're the best! Thank you. The subtitles were out of whack but the images were so beautiful I didn't much care. I hate thinking of her having a breakdown over a man, though. Do you have any idea how true to her actual life the movie is?

Wonderful! The book sounds enticing, and the paintings of Schjerfbeck look and sound intriguing. Thanks for sharing both. I plan to pass this book title along to a group of docents I know who read and discuss books primarily focused on art/artists. Thanks.

Barb: Okay, now you given me another book to put on my long list of need-to-reads. Also, a minor copy edit: Schjerfbeck (1962-1946). I assume that should be 1862?
