When in my later years I started my studies on the on an academy of fine arts in the south of The Netherlands, my taste for beauty changed. I suddenly found my spring goddess 'too sweet’. Too bad but most probably she ended up lonely and forgotten back again in the shimmers of the cabinet of doctor Caligari. At least I have never ever since see her back after since anymore. |

It would even take until 1976, before I would renew my aguaintance with the work of the artist Leonor Fini. It was on a late evening in the fall of that year somebody unexpectedly knocked on the door of my antique shop. It was the famous Dutch pencil artist Corstiaan de Vries, who just had to come in, because it was love at first sight between him and two very rare 18th century Venetian lanterns.
