Fascinating! How did they carry a sufficient quantity of paints and materials for these trips? I wonder if they had ways to make more color on the go..

I'd be curious to know about art supplies as well. I don't think their materials were too elaborate. I'll do some digging.

I love your Substack! Thank you. So amazing to imagine what a world would be like where we were not drowning in images everyday!

Thanks. I want to believe we can still choose what images to look at, against the onslaught....and be curators.

So interesting, thank you! How exciting and dangerous to be employed as an artist on an expedition!

Hey, Bill another great post ! I think Le Breton may have made the switch to demons to for a more imaginative, abstract subject.
