Oil on Canvas Hardcover

Melancholy and delightful, romantic and spare, Oil on Canvas examines the relationship between the painted picture and the written word. Both an art history and a love story, it explores the pleasures of literature and art, the themes of mortality, sensuality, eroticism, creativity and infidelity, and, ultimately, attempts to catch the frail and elusive nature of love by unfurling the complexities of passion and desire.
