Tourist - Silhouettes Part II

- I’ll cut both of your daughters, a young man said.

If it wasn’t for the situation I’d be scared. We were in the old- hilly-yellow-orange-coloured-sunny-cobbled-street-town Rovinj in Croatia. The young man started immediately. Arranged the girls, cut with his scissors, talked and looked for new customers at the same time. Not many minutes later the girls shyly looked upon their portraits, he was a skilled craftsman.

 

-There is my brother, he said and painted at the other silhouette cutter. And, my father, he is the one doing caricatures.  He is a professor at the Art academy, he continued. The family was here during summer, live in Moldavia otherwise and survived OK during tourist season. Our craftsman studied music the rest of the year. How the art professor managed to combine kitschy caricatures and the role at the Art academy I never got to know.

A survival kit?
