Jiří Karpeles (+5.2 1945) podepisoval své obrazy jako Georges Kars. Rodiče si takto zkrátili příjmení, když mu bylo 26. V našich končinách strávil jen dětství. Putoval Evropou, žil především v Paříži.
První obraz je autoportét.

I love looking up the paintings referred to in books. When someone in the reading group pointed out this book, Paintings in Proust, by Eric Karpeles, I was sold! The quote from Anita Brookner would have been enough, but I saw it after I told my wife I had another Christmas wish. #Proust2025

I went to that building years ago when I lived in Buffalo. The Karpeles Manuscript Library was having an exhibit of maps of the new world. It’s in a great location, right between Downtown Elmwood and Allentown.

🧵(1/12) Paintings in #Proust by Eric Karpeles is a valuable resource for anyone reading the Search. Unfortunately, it is indexed only to the 1987–89 La Pléiade, the 1992 Chatto & Windus, and the 1992–93 Modern Library editions. (The latter two are the CKSM-Kilmartin-Enright translation.)
