For my Dad ... can anyone answer ?

What colour did Renior see for the first time when he was in Algiers 1881-1882 ?


Please ..... he's driving me nuts :disturbd:

Around that period he painted a lot of nudes so it may be a flesh tone :erm:

An article I read said "warm" colours.



EDIT: I give up. Been through his life works and cant find anything.
Good luck.

Hi Nem,

Don't know if you've already got the answer but, after really digging into the little bit of French that I can remember, I found this on a (translated) French site:

"In Algeria, I discovered the white: all is white, the burnous, the walls, the minarets, the road "

So I guess the answer is white

HTH :tu:

If it is then I reckon you win the CF Googler of the Year Award. :)
