    I was an Art History major in college but sold out for journalism and a job. It was a necessity at the time but I crave that world. Thanks for giving it to me in your mini art classes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Interview: Doreen Carvajal | The Girl in Blue
Q: What are you hoping readers will come away from the book with? What's the big takeaway?
Carvajal hopes readers remember Irène and her family as real people, recognize how bureaucratic complicity enabled art looting, and take time to look more closely at paintings and the lives behind them.
Author Interview: Doreen Carvajal | The Girl in Blue
Q: What was the inspiration for this book? Why did you want to tackle Renoir, and especially the girl and her family?
Carvajal began with the looted portrait and wondered who the girl was and what became of her. Her research led from Irène's privileged upbringing to her family's devastation during the Holocaust.
Author Interview CJ Denton | La Pittura
Q: What do you hope readers take away from La Pittura and how the book uses art to tell a larger story?
I hope readers become art fans first, appreciate the authentic reconstruction of Artemisia's world, and see how each painting in the novel parallels a stage in her life, blending research with a gripping, human narrative.
Author Interview CJ Denton | La Pittura
Q: How would you describe the day-to-day experience of being a woman artist in that period and what challenges did Artemisia face?
Artemisia benefited from being born into an artistic household but still faced significant limitations; she managed studios, negotiated prices, relied on patrons and a husband for access, and defied norms by asserting her status and demanding value for her work.
Author Interview CJ Denton | La Pittura
Q: What's the sort of pitch for the book for people who want that little bit of historical fiction? What are they going to get from your book?
The book is grounded in 17th-century Italy and real artworks, but it imagines Artemisia having a second life as she navigates patronage and fame, blending factual history with a thrilling fictional layer about murder and confession on canvas.
