This is a closed thread for CourtesanBeryl and myself.
It deals with a situation that occurred in Paris one June a few years ago.
OOC...My character is Jack Bronson, actually John Earl Bronson but the world has known him as Jack for quite awhile.
His rise to fame has not been an easy one. He's held jobs from
taxi driver to male escort in order to make ends meet while he creates his paintings.
Half a dozen years ago one of his canvases was seen in a freind's home by Agatha Horwitz, long time owner of Horwitz Galleries in Chicago. She called him in for a meeting, a contract was signed and his work now graces her outlets in Los Angeles and New York as well as Chicago.
Jack Bronson is a hot number in the Art World right now.
An incorrigable immature brother, two ex-wives and child support never leave quite enough in the kitty though, and he is in Paris with Agatha's blessing to find new overseas affiliations to showcase and sell his work.
If your interested in such things, Jack Bronson is a ruggedly handsome man of 42, medium height, stocky, black hair, greying beard cut short and brown eyes.
IC...His last letter of introduction from Aggie Horwitz was tucked in his sports coat pocket but after paying for the taxi Jack felt more like a cold beer then another interview with a pompous French gallery owner.
The Gallerie d'Art Saint Germain was right across the street. He could easily walk over, introduce himself in his halting French. Pray desperately that someone spoke English, hand over the letter and wait for the verdict. Actually no one had given him an outright verdict yet. It was a 'don't call us we'll call you' kind of thing.
It was sunny and warm. Pretty French girls were everywhere on the streets. Jack wanted to see Paris, have fun, not spend another afternoon in the dim interior of a cathedral quiet art gallery.
The graceful carriage of one of those girls led to his decision. He watched her disappear into a Café, Le Bonaparte. Without a second thought he put the gallery out of his mind and followed her in.
