Allumettes cinq sens

2018

In the big box, the five senses: Taste: a candy; Smell: Guerlain perfume; Hearing: the sound of your voices; Sight and Touch: you touch and see the content.

The small box comes from my honeymoon in Naples. Its content: photos of paintings of my family members by Berthe Morisot and Renoir. I married the son of the blond little girl at the piano, Jeannie. And her cousin, my aunt, was the daughter of Berthe Morisot, the impressionist painter and friend of Renoir. They are accompanied by the female dog, Laerte, painted by Renoir, and the small cat, Minuit blanche (White Midnight). With all my heart, receive this family gift.
