APPEALS TO: SOME
A young girl goes to the museum and see's a self portrait of Florine Stettheimer. The woman in the portrait looks just like the young girl, who is also an artist, plus both of them are Jewish. The young girl wants to find out all about Florine. She learns about her schooling, life, and how she drew people in flight and drew buildings that grew like trees. The young girl wants to become Florine’s biggest fan and wants to be just like her.
Nayberg creates a whimsical musing showcasing the art style of Florine Stettheimer. The interesting illustrations are worth a peruse, but the story is lacking.
