The Girl in the Window

The Girl in the Window (1925)

It is a spring morning and the year is 1960. When I reflect on the painting of The Girl in the Window (1925) I can't help but think about my mother's passing. After she died, my sister Ana Maria and I grew closer. In this painting Ana Maria is looking out at the Bay of Cadaques. I have fond memories of staying by the bay in the summer when I was a child. Some people did not understand my relationship with my sister. They found the paintings that I did of my sister too sensual. They just don't understand our relationship and frankly I don't care if they do! (Descharnes and Neret pgs.20-25).
