Close Friend Madame: In 1793, when not yet 16, she married the wealthy banker Jacques Recamier (d. 1830), almost three times her age, and estab¬lished a salon to which her great charm, her talents, and her beauty attracted the literary and political celebrities of the day. She declined an appointment as lady in waiting in the imperial household, and was among those opposed to Napoleon as emperor. In 1805 Napoleon ruined her husband financially, and for a short time she joined her close friend Madame de Stael at Coppet, near Geneva, then a part of France. Mme. de Stael has given us her portrait in the novel Corinne, written at this time.
Madame Morin informed the company that I had a red spot on the left hip due to a longing for cherries which had come upon my mother in Aunt Chausson's garden before I was born. Whereat old Dr. Fournier, who had a great contempt for all such popular superstitions, remarked that it was lucky Madame Noziere had kept her desires within such modest limits during the period of gestation, since, if she had allowed herself to hanker after feathers, trinkets, a cashmere shawl, a coach and four, a town house, a country mansion and a park, there wouldn't have been skin enough on the whole of my poor body to hold the record of such inordinate ambitions.*See Also Long-standing Friend And Art-dealer:Picasso said once that a painting could only ever be imitative, whereas a line drawing could never be. We know this from his long-standing friend and art-dealer Daniel Henry Kahnweiler, to whom he mentioned his ideas about drawings in a conversation in autumn 1933. Picasso believed that drawings were far more important for the artistic rendering of ideas, because they had more immediacy. Another remark of Picasso's sheds even more light on his concept of art: "What the artist does is less important than what he is." One is tempted to continue this quotation, saying that what the artist is can only find expression in utter and complete spontaneousness.
Values. There are three possible values in every Oriental rug—the utility value, the art value, and the collector's value. The utility value de¬pends entirely upon the durability of the fabric as a Floor covering. The art value depends upon the color and design rather than upon the texture. The collector's value depends upon the rarity of the art value. It follows that Oriental Rugs are valued and priced according to individual worth, and that the honest dealer can neither ask more than a rug is wrorth nor confess attempted extortion by radical price reductions. The fairness of the price is proportionate usually to the honesty of the dealer. To judge the quality of an Oriental rug is a matter requiring considerable study, and the amateur will be well-advised not to attempt this without the aid of an expert or a dealer whose reputation is unquestioned.
On The Other Hand See Old Friend Henri:Phe War of the Three Henrys' which ragedom 1585 to 1589 was the eighth of a series F religious wars which ravaged France in le 1500s.
