Description
A young decorative painter's artistic and emotional apprenticeship unfolds in this highly original coming-of-age story. Behind the ornate doors of 30, rue du Mtal in Brussels, twenty students begin their studies in the art of decorative painting.
As they learn to reproduce materials in paint, Kate, Jonas, and Paula Karst will experience a year of intense study, long hours, late nights, conversations, arguments, parties, and romances that will cement a lasting friendship. For Paula, her initiation into trompe l'oil will take her on a journey through time, from her childhood memories to the ancient formations of the materials she strives to master.
This atmospheric and highly aesthetic portrayal of love, art, and craftsmanship offers a unique perspective on the human experience, revealing something of the inner world and secret desires of its protagonist. Translated from the French by Jessica Moore.
