Surely that should read “The Atelier” – meaning “studio” or “workshop” in French?

My belated compliments, Charley, on a string of fine posts, this not the least of them.

I am struck by three things about Larsonâ€™s work: 1.) His attention to handling of translucent light, most obvious in the paintings of wash being hung to dry. 2.) His handling of reflected light: Figures back-lit in the high-contrasts of a water surface or the self-portrait in the platter above (which has a slow fuse in the viewerâ€™s recognition but is typical of his powers of observation.) 3.) Least obvious, but just as potent is his sense of composition.
