Grateful to have been interviewed by @jolocktov about my #Fortuny book with @yaleARTbooks
We talked about the reopening of @PalazzoFortuny and how my focus on Fortuny began with #Proust

[ytali. @ytali_]

“Fortuny: Time, Space, Light” by @wendyligonsmith is an invitation to explore the Magician of #Venice, his historic palazzo, now the @PalazzoFortuny, and the inspirations that informed his extensive artistic innovations.

@bibliomolly The green line is the worsttttt. Good luck navigating! (I used to live in Somerville) But there's always pastries from Tatte or donuts from Union square to make you feel better! @UnionSqDonuts

[Dr Wendy Ligon Smith @wendyligonsmith]

This thread has great images of Fortuny's Delphos gown being worn through the decades. If you're interested in #Fortuny and his working methods, check out my new book Fortuny: Time, Space, Light with @yalepress https://t.co/ful4fZTI7k
