\"DSC_0269If you google\u00a0Eug\u00e8ne Carri\u00e8re and click on images<\/em> you’ll face an astonishing array of somewhat monochromatic brown\/sepia\/beige\/black paintings. Lots of them, and all a little bit mysterious, glowing, or, as Wikipedia describes\u00a0it, with a misty color scheme. I had first seen his famous portrait of Paul Verlaine at the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay and then encountered the one below, of Alphonse Daudet, in some small museum in San Antonio, Tx.<\/p>\n

Carri\u00e8re had been a prisoner in Dresden during the Franco-German war and taken to Rubens’ paintings (of which there are many displayed in the Gem\u00e4ldegallerie Alter Meister.) How prisoners could visit museums is puzzling me \u00a0– but in any event, his paintings were influenced by the old masters until the 1890s. By then he developed his distinctive style of layers of brown and came up with psychologically remarkable portraits. He is defined\u00a0as a symbolist and counted a significant\u00a0number of artists among his friends and subjects, Daudet, Rodin and Anatole France among them.<\/p>\n

Daudet was a writer from the South of France who is know for sentimental short stories, and a life filled with misfortune, including the venereal disease that eventually killed him. I have trouble feeling much pity, though, given his politics. Not only was he a monarchist and opposed to the French Republic, he was an ardent antisemite, who corresponded with Richard Wagner on these issues and was a close friend of \u00c9douard Drumont who founded the Antisemitic League of France and edited an antisemitic newspaper. Here is an all too current and informative piece of writing on the topic of antisemitism\u00a0http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/politics\/uk\/2016\/05\/longest-hatred<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I saw some visual familiarity between my photographic subject and the painted portrait, but assume there are no further parallels. \u00a0\"IMG_3458<\/p>\n
