Artist's Insights:
Q. The bread has a name and I imagine, a location. Is this a place you frequent?
A. Yes, when we lived in the area, I would stop by weekly for a French loaf and sometimes get to talk with the owner, Niles Golovin, when he wasn't busy. When I saw the rack of bruscetta, I wanted to photograph it right away. I was fascinated by the arrangement of verticals and horizontals.
It seemed so appropriate to place Suzon from Manet's "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" in front of the display of bruschetta. I included part of Niles's kitchen and added his basket of salami to to the counter items on the Manet painting.
