An Interview with Susan Vreeland by Meredith Allard Susan Vreeland is the author of the much-loved, best-selling novels Girl in Hyacinth Blue and The Passion of Artemesia . Her novels can be purchased at amazon.com , and you can visit her online M.A.: What inspired you to write Girl in Hyacinth Blue ? Why do you think Vermeer's paintings have been the catalyst for several novels? S.V.: In 1996, a few weeks after attending Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, I was diagnosed with lymphoma. Wanting to fill my eyes and thoughts with beauty as I began chemotherapy, I pored over art books and absorbed the placidness of Monet's garden, the sparkling color of the Impressionists, the strength and solidity of Michelangelo's figures showing the titanic power of humans at one with God, and the serene Dutch women in Johannes Vermeer's interiors. These women took on added significance because I had a Dutch name. It was comforting, in case I had to leave this world, to find, through them, my heritage and place of origin, and perhaps something of the strength of Dutch character. I began to recognize that art can emerge from extremity. In my case, long, uninterrupted days free from teaching high school became a gift which resulted in Girl in Hyacinth Blue Paintings with people feed my imagination. Who sat as model for the artist? I always wonder. What was their relationship? Did any urge for physical intimacy pass between them or was their coming together at this moment in time merely a business transaction? Was there a deeper aesthetic collaboration? Was the painter sick with dread over how he would feed his family? What did his children want from him that day? Was his wife happy? Was he? Was he contented with his work?

IN COPERTINA UNA DONNA CON UN ABITO ROSSO - IL COLORE DELLA PASSIONE.
Il viso assorto, e si intuisce che la passione è tutta lì, nello sguardo abbassato sulle mani che sfiorano uno strumento musicale.
   La passione per l'arte, la stessa che prova Artemisia Gentileschi che ha dipinto questa Santa Cecilia. Il romanzo di Susan Vreeland inizia nel 1612: il pittore Orazio Gentileschi ha citato al tribunale dell'Inquisizione di Roma l'amico Agostino Tassi per aver violentato sua figlia, la diciottenne Artemisia. L'umiliazione dell' interrogatorio che mette in dubbio l'integrità e la sincerità della ragazza, la visita medica sotto lo sguardo di tutti, il tradimento del padre che pensa solo alla sua pittura, il matrimonio combinato con un pittore di Firenze.
   Artemisia ha già dipinto delle grandi tele, dipinge da quando era bambina, dipingere è, per lei, una maniera di vivere, è sentire la vita con maggiore intensità degli altri, è essere più vivi degli altri. La sua non è una pittura convenzionale, perché lei non è una donna convenzionale. Suo padre dirà che è la Sibilla di una nuova era (che rivincita su quello stesso termine usato per indicare la tortura a cui era stata sottoposta, come una prova della verità!).
   Artemisia osserva, riflette, guarda le cose da un' altra prospettiva. Artemisia diventa Giuditta che uccide Oloferne (non avrebbe ucciso volentieri Agostino?). Artemisia è Susanna guardata con lascivia dai vecchioni; Artemisia è, contro la sua volontà, Lucrezia che si uccide per la vergogna dello stupro. Ma la Lucrezia di Artemisia è colta in un momento di dubbio - chi guarderà il quadro dovrà sentirsi a disagio di fronte a questa donna che è stata spinta al suicidio dall'ignoranza. Perché Artemisia crede che l'arte possa aiutare a cambiare il mondo, l' arte ci fa pensare, ci fa vivere una vita ricca di spiritualità. E l'arte è una passione che fa dimenticare tutti gli altri legami - un marito geloso, una figlia con altri interessi.

SUSAN VREELAND È A ROMA - SULLE TRACCE DI ARTEMISIA, LA PROTAGONISTA DEL SUO LIBRO CHE È APPENA STATO PUBBLICATO IN ITALIANO.

   Parliamo con lei al telefono, della sua carriera come scrittrice, di questo romanzo e di quello che verrà pubblicato a primavera.
Può dirci qualcosa sulla sua vita e sulla sua carriera come scrittrice - quando ha iniziato a scrivere?
   Sono venuta per la prima volta in Europa nel 1971, in un viaggio di studio organizzato dalla mia università e guidato dai nostri insegnanti di materie umanistiche. Il testo che usavamo era "Civiltà" di Kenneth Clark e nel primo capitolo veniva citata una frase di John Ruskin: "Le grandi nazioni scrivono le loro autobiografie in tre manoscritti - il libro delle loro imprese, il libro delle loro parole e il libro della loro arte."    Questa affermazione di Ruskin mi colpì come molto profonda, ma ha poi avuto per me un significato di una portata di gran lunga maggiore di quello che avrei potuto immaginare, quando promisi a me stessa che l'arte di questo nuovo mondo nel Vecchio Mondo sarebbe stata la compagna della mia vita. Mai come allora, durante quel viaggio, la storia era stata vibrante di vita, con una voce sua propria.    Pittura, scultura, architettura, musica, storia religiosa e storia sociale - ero rapita da tutte queste cose, volevo leggere di più, imparare le lingue, riempirmi i polmoni di una cultura ricca, gloriosa e antica, elaborata dall' energia umana. Questa esperienza è dietro ai miei scritti degli anni '80, articoli su viaggi, arte e cultura per riviste e giornali.

"Mädchen in Hyazinthblau"
Diana Verlag München Zürich 2000
238 Seiten, 16,00 € (HC), 8,00 (TB)

Es ist ein reizvoller Gedanke, sich vorzustellen, ein Gemälde könnte seine Geschichte erzählen. Wie viel Schicksalhaftes träte so zu Tage, an dessen Existenz der Betrachter eines wundervollen Bildes nicht zu denken glaubt.
Die amerikanische Autorin Susan Vreeland wagt den Versuch und nimmt den Leser mit auf eine lange Reise in die Tiefen der Alltags - und Kunstgeschichte Europas. Am Beispiel eines fiktiven Gemäldes von Vermeer van Delft schildert sie in 8 Episoden die verhängnisvolle Geschichte des zauberhaften Bildes "Mädchen in Hyazinthblau". Doch beginnt sie nicht bei der Erschaffung des Kunstwerkes durch Vermeer van Delft vor 350 Jahren, sondern in der Gegenwart.
Ein amerikanischer Kunstprofessor glaubte an einen schlechten Scherz, als ihm ein Kollege, mit wundersamen Namen Cornelius Engelbrecht, in dessen Wohnung ein Gemälde präsentierte, welches auf den ersten Blick ein echter Vermeer zu sein schien, oder aber eine gelungene Fälschung. Und als wäre der unverhoffte Anblick dieses Gemäldes nicht genug, schildert ihm Engelbrecht im Folgenden die verhängnisvolle Geschichte, wie seine Familie in Besitz dieses Bildes kam.
Einer Detektivgeschichte gleich nimmt Susan Vreeland die Spur der Eigentümer des Bildes auf und verfolgte sie durch die Jahrhunderte. Einige Episoden gelingen ihr hierbei so ergreifend und spannend, dass man sich eine Fortsetzung wünschte. Doch erzählen die einzelnen Kapitel jeweils eine Etappe in der wechselvollen Geschichte des "Mädchens in Hyazinthblau".

This luminous story begins in the present day, when a professor invites a colleague to his home to see a painting that he has kept secret for decades. The professor swears it is a Vermeerbut why has he hidden this important work for so long? The reasons unfold in a series of events that trace the ownership of the painting back to World War II and Amsterdam, and still further back to the moment of the work's inspiration. As the painting moves through each owner's hands, what was long hidden quietly surfaces, illuminating poignant moments in multiple lives. Vreeland's characters remind us, through their love of this mysterious painting, how beauty transforms and why we reach for it, what lasts and what in our lives is singular and unforgettable. top of the page

    Description: Girl in Hyacinth Blue Susan Vreeland Paperback, 242 pages ISBN: 014029628X Penguin USA There are only 35 known Vermeer paintings extant in the world today. In Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Susan Vreeland posits the existence of a 36th. The story begins at a private boys' academy in Pennsylvania where, in the wake of a faculty member's unexpected death, math teacher Cornelius Engelbrecht makes a surprising revelation to one of his colleagues. He has, as he claims, an authentic Vermeer painting, 'a most extraordinary painting in which a young girl wearing a short blue smock over a rust-colored skirt sat in profile at a table by an open window.' His colleague, an art teacher, is skeptical and though the technique and subject matter are persuasively Vermeer-like, Engelbrecht can offer no hard evidenceno appraisal, no papersto support his claim. He says only that his father, 'who always had a quick eye for fine art, picked it up, let us say, at an advantageous moment.'

    Autrice de La passione di Artemisia , traduzione di Francesca Diano, pagg. 320, € 15,50, ed. Neri Pozza , Vicenza, 2002
    Hai scritto un romanzo ispirato alla vita di Artemisia Gentileschi, una sorta di biografia romanzata, in cui descrivi (quasi stessi dipingendole tu stessa) con grande efficacia le opere della pittrice. Ho letto il tuo libro in meno di due ore e l’ho trovato pieno di dettagli, coinvolgente, con un’attenzione particolare all’introspezione ed una sensibilità rara nella descrizione dei rapporti umani. Quanto tempo ti ci è voluto per scriverlo? Circa due anni. Non ho dedicato ogni giorno, in questi due anni, alla stesura del manoscritto perché a quel tempo insegnavo, ma la storia del processo pubblico a cui è stata sottoposta e soprattutto le ricerche che mi hanno consentito di scrivere la storia di Artemisia mi hanno coinvolto totalmente. Oltre che per i suoi celeberrimi dipinti, la figura della Gentileschi viene spesso associata al tristemente famoso processo per stupro che fu costretta a subire, dopo essere stata violentata da Agostino Tassi, un pittore amico di suo padre. Sinceramente, ho dovuto far violenza a me stessa per proseguire la lettura della visita ginecologica a cui Artemisia è stata costretta a sottoporsi pubblicamente.
