Nearly forty-three years after the death of French
author Jean Giono, Michèle Ducheny, a retired professor of
French, has published the fourth online edition of a book on Giono’s relationship
with various painters. Among them is my aunt, Gracieuse Christof, whose
painting of my grandparents Valentine (née Targoulian) and Arménag Chahbaghlian
(Shahbaghlian) graces the cover of A
Requiem, Armenian Style. Ducheny’s discussion of Gracieuse
is found on pages 155-156 of Giono et les peintres at:
Note
that A Requiem is now part of the
Fonds Giono (a vast collection of the works of and about the famed author; his
correspondance before 1949 and after 1963; pictures; etc.) in Manosque, France.
