Just when I think you can't surpass yours...LA,<br /><br />Just when I think you can't surpass yourself, you do just that. There is so much here to savor, note and remember. <br /><br />I am transfixed by the beauty of Picasso's sketches of her. Often, I am left somewhat ambivalent of his efforts, but there is, obvious, adoration expressed.<br /><br /><em>"Have you ever thought about the inspiration for bringing an inelegant rustic ladder into a soigne room originated? & when?"</em> <br /><br />For years, one such ladder, very much resembling the one in the hallway of Errazuriz's Paris home, has graced the corner of my kitchen. Only now, do I learn who it can be credited to, which makes it all the more alluring.<br /><br />I'm also just the least bit captivated by the idea of Eugenia's education with the English nuns of a convent (a similarity I share, though not in Chile) and its influence on her aesthetics. I always loved the stark habit of the nuns in look, movement and style. <br /><br />And, of course, the quote on "a house that does not alter" is one we all should embrace.<br /><br />A truly memorable post.Errant Aesthetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618929624889945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-44287236248963062212010-05-05T03:17:27.956-04:002010-05-05T03:17:27.956-04:00I came to your blog looking for a history of women...I came to your blog looking for a history of women's fashion and found something even more precious: the connection between Picasso, Diaghilev and Madame Errazuriz.
