Now, in a collection of profound wisdom and beauty, she explores the transcendent power of art through the eyes of ordinary people. Life Studies begins with historic tales that, rather than focusing directly on the great Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters themselves, render those on the periphery--their lovers, servants, and children--as their personal experiences play out against those of Manet, Monet, van Gogh, and others. Vreeland then gives us contemporary stories in which her characters--a teacher, a construction worker, and an orphan for example--encounter art in meaningful, often surprising ways. A fascinating exploration of the lasting strength of art in everyday life, \u003cb\u003eLife Studies\u003c\/b\u003e is a dazzling addition to Vreeland's outstanding body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Vreeland\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of eight books, including \u003ci\u003eClara and Mr. Tiffany \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Girl in Hyacinth Blue\u003c\/i\u003e.
