Title : Louise des Ombrages - Yves Viollier - Book

Summary :

From certain elements of the life of a painter who existed, Yves Viollier has woven a moving story around lineage, creation, and secrecy, along the fresh waters of the green Venice.

The father and daughter were holding hands, their eyes closed. It looked as if they were asleep.
"They were found, as I tell it, in their house in Les Ombrages. It was after the Great War, at Gué-des-Marais. At that time, suicide was unforgivable. So, father and daughter!
Louise, a young painter with precocious talent, was already exhibiting in salons alongside the greatest artists. She had a bright future. The code of silence weighed on the village. Rumors spread, but the mystery was never solved.
I went to film in this land of water and sky with changing colors that we call Green Venice. I read the newspapers of the time and looked for paintings by the woman who inspired this story, and whom I named Louise. I visited her house, which I named Les Ombrages. And I tried to retrace through the novel the paths of a destiny that made them decide to take each other by the hand. So that they might live again. And so that we might get to know them. So, perhaps, that we might love them.
