My copy of Mary Gedo's "Looking At Art From the Inside Out" has arrived -- so
soon we'll be able to examine in greater detail how far she (and William) got
beyond an "undeveloped observation, or statement of belief"
But I fear they must meet the same challenge that Dutton faced when writing
about Homo Sapiens in the Pleistocene era.
Lack of evidence.
(except, of course, for the evidence of other speculations about the same
questions -- which seems to be William's favorite kind)
At least with Manet, we've got the finished artifact ("The Bar at the Follies
Bergere"), the X-rays of it, the surviving study that was made for it, as well
as all of Manet's other paintings
But how can one construct a "psychoiconography" about a person who admittedly
was quite private and wrote nothing about himself or his paintings?
We shall wait and see.
