Susan Vreeland discusses her book, “Life Studies.” Vreeland shares stories from the book, which cast the profiled painters as peripheral characters. She tells the story of how Pierre-Auguste Renoir meets the little girl from his work, “A Girl With a Watering Can” and of Claude Monet’s dying wife, and Amedeo Modigliani’s daughter trying to piece together information about her parents. She also tells the story of a woman who poses nude, and a contemporary story of a son and his mother. Vreeland's interview ends at the pause at the end of the video.
