PHOTOGRAPHER Tim Walker is gearing up to make his first film, a short piece entitled The Lost Explorer. The film is a coming of age story which centres on a young girl called Evelyn, who discovers an explorer camping at the bottom of her garden, adapted from the story by Patrick McGrath.
She edited several of her second husband's, explorer and author Peter Freuchen, books. In 1968, she wrote Cookbook of the Seven Seas, title inspired by Freuchen's book, Book of the Seven Seas.[3][4]
She met her second husband, Peter Freuchen, on December 24, 1944, in New York at the home of some Danish friends. They married in 1945. Freuchen was a well known Danish author and Arctic explorer. Beginning in 1945, they lived in New York City and maintained a second home in Noank, Connecticut on Chesbro Street, overlooking Long Island Sound. They appeared[5] together in a well known photo by Irving Penn showing Freuchen with a beard in a massive fur coat. Freuchen often travelled for his work during their marriage but is reported to have written home every day and sent a copy of each letter to the Danish Royal Library, to be opened 50 years after his death, in 2007. Freuchen-Gale joined her husband only once in his travels, on an expedition to Iceland, during which she served native meals including pickled whale blubber and seaweed. During their marriage, she became an expert on various cuisines from around the world. After her husband's death, Freuchen-Gale maintained the Noank home until 1963.
In contrast to their 300 years, the 455 paintings at the Tate cover only a single decade. Yet in many ways it is for the arts the most exploratory decade of this century. The post-impressionists (whose work, currently on exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art, clicks nicely into place with this group) located the territory. Picasso and Braque drew the first maps. This exhibition is about the explorers themselves, who helped precipitate the experiments in the arts which made for example, Joyce possible and much of modern poetry impossible. 59ce067264
