	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Lafarge
		Even his earliest drawings and landscapes, done in Newport, Rhode Island, after his marriage in 1861 with Margaret Mason Perry, show marked originality, especially in the handling of colour values, and also the influence of Japanese art, in the study of which he was a pioneer.
		LaFarge's inquiring mind led him to experiment with colour problems, especially in the medium of stained glass.
		He succeeded not only in rivalling the gorgeousness of the medieval windows, but in adding new resources by his invention of opalescent glass and his original methods of superimposing and welding his material.

		LaFarge (The Artist of the Missing) pays homage to this mystifying personage in his tremendous novel, which is every bit as grand, gracious and sophisticated as Paris itself.
		LaFarge, posing as translator (he even includes a "Note to the English Edition"), neatly integrates geographical and cultural references into the tale, making this as much an enlightening history of Paris as it is a tragic, affecting love story.
		LaFarge's highly original, sociohistorical novel has all the underpinnings of a Dickensian yarn, but its world is observed with the humorous eye of an amused gossip.
