Paintings in Proust

HARMONY IN BLUE AND SILVER,” JAMES ABBOTT MCNEILL WHISTLER, 1865
Even before Marcel Proust died in 1922, “In Search of Lost Time,” his novel about art and memory, was being dissected for wisdom on a stunning variety of topics.

Eric Karpeles's book, “Paintings in Proust,” is the first to focus on the works of art that inspired Proust's novel.
