À propos de cet audio

It all started with a list of paintings.

There, scribbled by a cousin she hadn't seen for years, were the names of the masters whose works once belonged to her great-grandfather, Jules Strauss: Renoir, Monet, Degas, Tiepolo, and more. Pauline Baer de Perignon knew little to nothing about Strauss, or about his vanished precious art collection. But the list drove her on a frenzied trail of research in the archives of the Louvre and the Dresden museums, through Gestapo records, and to consult with Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano. What happened in 1942? And what became of the collection after Nazis seized her great-grandparents’ elegant Parisian apartment?

The quest takes Pauline Baer de Perignon from the Occupation of France to the present day as she breaks the silence around the wrenching experiences her family never fully transmitted and asks what art itself is capable of conveying over time.

This is my favourite kind of book: learning of the loss of family art to Nazi looting, or finally acting on lifelong whispers, a descendant with limited knowledge decides to pursue the artwork. I am amazed at the trail that can be identified, with enough tenacity and patience. I learn so much about art and art history as I go along for the ride. Highly recommended.

Highly satisfying
