I am amazed by Charlotte's story. But don't you think it would be better to really bring her story to life with some of her gouaches?

We think you're absolutely right! We're going to do everything to bring her story back to life.

I think this was a really good idea: now we see the whole story of Charlotte. We saw a lot of gouaches, lots of parts of her life, bur now we really see a review of her life, that's great!
p.s. I didn't even know she was married...:s
