If not, i think you would like it.) entitled "Black Butterflies" (I THINK ; the book is residing at a friend's house at present) and in it a very sad young boy walks along a street with a huge black butterfly (that possesses an enlarged head) hovering over him.Varo was quite keen at taking an idiom and painting it literally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-53438114006679444312008-10-08T12:51:00.000+01:002008-10-08T12:51:00.000+01:00Absolutely stunning, Rima.
