Synopsis

In 'The Bill,' László Krasznahorkai's distinctive voice unfolds in a single, extended sentence, addressing the sixteenth-century Venetian painter Palma Vecchio. The narrative delves into Vecchio's art, particularly his portraits of bare-breasted blondes, exploring the apprehension in their gazes. The text interrogates the artist's motivations and the unsettling dynamic between painter and model, seeking answers within the paintings themselves.
