What enthralled me even then were the wonderful art museums which contained many of the very paintings that I was studying in my art history course at Edinburgh. On later Paris visits alone and beginning in the late 1990s with my second wife, I revisited changing neighborhoods and returned to beloved museums. As the years passed, I began to explore an even darker side of French history. These painters had emigrated to Paris from other countries and were considered by some French critics and artists to be a threat to the purity of French art.
