Painting Ghost. Prom the north of France had came a middle-aged coal miner, Augustin Lesage. In 1912, working as he had worked for 20 years far down in a black bowel of the earth, Augustin heard "voices," like those Joan of Arc declared called her, telling him to stop mining and go to draw and paint.

The first thing to do, I think, must be to divide up the work." In a score of inkwells scattered about, there is no ink. Josephine fills them with coffee. The pens scratch and splutter. Joan of Arc is postponed...
