Sacre Coeur, Paris c. 20th century

Curator: Now, this etching by Walter E. Trevett, titled "Sacre Coeur, Paris," really pulls you into another world, doesn't it? Editor: It does! The Sacre Coeur looming in the distance... it feels almost dreamlike, like a memory. What do you see when you look at it? Curator: I see a city holding its breath. The darkness pressing in, but that distant cathedral, it offers a promise of something beyond the everyday. It's not just Paris, it’s a Paris of the mind, wouldn’t you agree? Editor: That’s a great way to put it. It’s definitely making me think differently about how artists use light and shadow to convey emotion. Curator: It's like a whispered secret, isn't it? And art, at its best, is about those secrets that linger just beneath the surface. Editor: I’ll remember that! Thanks.
