Lena Townsend Date: 4/26/2009 12:25:00 AM Johanna Ey played an important role in these artists lives. She was an awesome friend with a gifted eye for the beauty of the artists that gathered regularly in this bakery. She was a good woman to take paintings in exchange for food as we all know how many "starving artists" there are out there. Great writing as always Brian... very informative.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Date: 4/25/2009 2:16:00 AM LOL I couldn't help myself from laughing on this one. When I visited the image and saw how robust Johanna, the art dealer was and noticed how much the drape in the painting looks like giant twisted bread, I found myself amused at how your mind brings these things to light. Thank you for the enjoyment. Always, Dane Login to Reply
