The Vagabond, a novel written in 1910 by Colette (1873–1954), follows the life of Renée Néré, a 34-year-old music hall performer who, having received a marriage proposal, must choose between domestic security and the freedom to experience life on her own terms. Participants will examine scenes from the novel that feature Renée in her humble Paris apartment, and will investigate how Colette’s domestic interiors compare with those of Henri Matisse (1869–1954), Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), and Edouard Vuillard (1868–1940). A tour of In the Still Epiphany will follow the discussion. To register or for more info, contact Kristin Fleischmann Brewer at kfleischmann@pulitzerarts.org or 314.754.1847.
