I personally thought that the title was meant to be symbolic but having the book starting from the perspective of the artist is so interesting. Harry is sexist and annoying specially since he always wants to talk about how someone should live. The painter is acting very… how you say it… flamboyant! Haha. But I find the concept interesting and specially since the element of the picture. There is a paragraph that is giving very colonizer specially when describing tribes, their own items and instruments, as well as the people. Yet there’s a twist in this book that just changes things.
