Subject: [NABOKV-L] QUERY: Paintings in TOoL

Hi Nabokov-L list members,

I'm Apolline. I'm writing a dissertation about the relation between
literature and painting in TOoL. Reading TOoL, I found some references to
different artists and paintings. I don't know if anybody recognizes any of
these references? Can anybody tell me why Nabokov would mention them?
