Seated Woman


Seated Woman
Joan Miro – 1939. Oil on Canvas. Peggy Guggenhejm Collection, Venice.

Okay – not the kind of art I would choose: I had to look at the painting for a long time before I even FOUND the seated woman…she’s rather small compared to the indefinable rest of the picture!

But I knew I had this lonely photo of the Seated Empress to scrapbook – the Empress being me, taken in 1992 at Sung Village Culture Park in Hong Kong. There is a dress-up-and-get-a-photo shop attached to their wax figure collection of famous personalities of Chinese history – and of course, I can never resist a dress-up!

Paper is Club Scrap"T+N" except for the colourful washi paper; and alphas and Chinese coins from "Asian Artisan"
