Whistler

"Most people need to work to support themselves or their families; Heatley did not. He and Katherine could afford to do whatever they wanted and to go anywhere in the world. They decided to get out of Auckland and travel for two years with a teacher for the children and an open mind about where they might settle. If somewhere appealed to them, they would stay. If not, they would come home. They started in Whistler, Canada, then travelled through the US, at one stage renting a house in Florida next door to Mar-a-Lago, which would later become famous as US President Donald Trump’s private club."

"This was somewhat what Boussac did not like about Saint-Laurent. He believed “there was always too much black in his collections.” A man of classic, measured, tasteful tradition, Boussac found himself more in harmony with Bohan’s watercolor palette, an interpreter of gentle and carefree femininity, in the charming style of Watteau’s galant festivities or the boating parties of the Bougival painter. Saint-Laurent’s palette, darker and deeper, tinged with Nordic mists like Whistler, and full of Orientalist reminiscences, with exotic scents of musk and opium, expressed for him a woman whose perfume was too laden with modernity."
