(To be concluded)I’ll ask my readers to bear with me as I explore and try to solve, in another two-part series, some mysteries of art. Alongside my recent love affair with old books, I’ve rekindled an early and abiding interest in art, particularly in paintings of a certain kind. Over the past few months, I’ve been picking up art pieces — paintings and prints — in this old-fashioned mode. It might make me want to know more about the artist after — not necessarily before — I buy the painting. They were unsigned — so forget finding some mislaid Amorsolo — but they exuded rustic charm, a harking back to a lost provincial Eden.
