Jean Lurcat with William Fifield

Photo from a Marseille paper, dating from the 1960s. The caption reads: Lurçat (right) asks Pierre Gieulle if the fish are really cooked or alive while Mr. Fifield gets ready to eat the first bouillabaisse of his life.

My father met with Lurçat a number of times in the south of France. In Search of Genius records their exchange during one of these conversations, which took place in the artist's hotel room in Aix-en-Provence. —Donnali Fifield
