Shocking Paris: Soutine, Chagall and the Outsiders… Tekijä: Stanley Meisler
I didn't know much, if anything, about Soutine, so I found the book interesting. I just don't understand the title. Is "shocking" a verb or an adjective?
Always wanted to know more about the peace corps and this book gave me those key insights.
