 The Lady and the Unicorn by Tracy Chevalier, reviews, links and opinions, book club reading suggestions
While Chevalier is generally convincing in her depiction of male-female relationships, she is less successful in her portrait of the man himself.
In Chevalier's first two novels, The Virgin Blue and Girl with a Pearl Earring, I was struck by her portrayal of everyday life, the evocation of atmosphere and the way in which small details – a smell, a colour, a voice – were absorbed almost effortlessly into the narrative.
Perhaps it hardly matters whether it is the artist, or the rebellious maiden or the weaver's weary wife, since all their lives become as irretrievably entangled as the interwoven threads of the tapestries themselves.

Lee combines direct address and documentary techniques with a simple, often elegant narrative style to create a multilayered portrait of Nola and her men and question perceptions and conventions of sex, sexuality, and relationships in the modern world.
Nola is an unapologetic, sexually independent character who resists the efforts of the men in her life to change who she is to please them--the wonderful concluding twist thumbs its nose at romantic conventions and gives Nola her due.
According to Lee's published diary, he interviewed dozens of women and gathered feedback on screenplay from female friends, and his efforts show.

 Colin Firth in Girl with a Pearl Earring
In the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring (based on Tracy Chevalier’s fictionalised tale about how Johannes Vermeer was inspired by a scullery maid to paint his masterpiece), Ms Davis has taken the supporting part of Vermeer& wife Catharina (pictured right, opposite Colin Firth as Vermeer) and turned her into a tortured soul.
Based on the book by Tracy Chevalier, Pearl Earring is the story of how the master came to paint a lowly servant in his house, for what was to become perhaps his greatest masterpiece—the luminous painting for which the film is titled.
Photographed with all the sublime incandescence of the Vermeer portrait for which it is named, Girl with a Pearl Earring lifts the veil shrouding the painter& mid-seventeenth century home life in a transfixing story told from the point of view of his young maidservant.

Yet Sartre fleshes out this portrait of the self in his analysis of being-for and being-with; he proposes that the for-itself is also nothing but relationships because the self exists only for the Other that it can never know.
Sartre's view that the self is informed by the primary connection between being and nothingness emerges in his representation of the notion that existence precedes essence.' Sartre explains that nothingness is integral to the for-itself because the for-itself puts nothingness' between itself and its past in thrusting itself forward into its future.
He writes: "nothingness is the putting into question of being by being."<19> Sartre then turns toward more concrete analysis by calling attention to the fact that negating is central to making conscious distinctions.

Inspired by this portrait, Tracy Chevalier created a novel of the imagination that brings the girl to life, placing her as a servant in Vermeer's household.
All of these elements are present in "Girl with a Pearl Earring," a portrait of an unknown subject painted in the 1660's.
A definitive explanation of what it is about these paintings that it so captivating will be left to the art critics, but surely the elements include the rich colors, the exquisite rendering of light in which his subjects are placed, a psychological depth to the portraiture and a pervasive sense of mystery.

The mysterious portrait of the anonymous Girl with a Pearl Earring has fascinated art historians for centuries, and it is this magnetic painting that lies at the heart of Tracy Chevalier's second novel of the same title.
His painting is a simple, though enigmatic, portrait of a girl with a pearl earring, about which little is known.
Chevalier deliberately cultivates a limpid, painstakingly observed style in homage to Vermeer, and the complex domestic tensions of the Vermeer household are vividly evoked, from the jealous, vain, young wife to the wise, taciturn mother-in-law.

 Lillian Ross Does Katharine Hepburn - The art of narcissistic obituary. By Timothy Noah
Ross' recent show-biz pieces in The New Yorker may be forgettable, but, as the author of the great Picture and Portrait of Hemingway, Ross needn't have worried she'd be forgotten.
Ross' ostensible purpose was to commemorate Hepburn as a role model for women, especially in the "pure, Brahmin generosity" she displayed toward the wife of her lover of 27 years, Spencer Tracy:
It should also be noted that before Here but Not Here appeared, Ross' romance with Shawn, unlike Hepburn's romance with Tracy, was entirely unknown to the public at large.

 Director Gregory La Cava's Retrospective at Museum of Modern Art
Fifth Avenue Girl is typical of La Cava’s comic incisiveness, a portrait of a rich but joyless businessman (Walter Connolly) who works so hard his butler (the peerlessly prissy Franklin Pangborn) has to identify the green stuff outside his penthouse window as Central Park.
One gleaming treasure in the MoMA series is 1932’s The Half-Naked Truth, starring Lupe Velez as a carnival hoochie-coochie girl who becomes the toast of Broadway with her randy wiggling and the publicity wangled by her nonstop manager: Lee Tracy’s Jimmy Bates is a devilish dervish of a performance.
La Cava and his co-writers gave Jimmy a marvelously cynical speech that can stand as a critique of media and audiences even unto today.
