Dominic Smith's first novel, The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, is a powerful and often disturbing story of modern art and redemption. Set in the years following World War II, this gripping tale follows the life of the eccentric painter Sara de Vos as she struggles to preserve some shred of dignity for herself and her art. She has spent two decades painting a traditional still life, when her latest work - a painting of an operatic scene - is met with stark criticism from her colleagues at an art show. Her response drives the narrative forward as Sara’s world fractures into small pieces. The emotionally charged scenes give listeners insights into Sara’s complex psyche while exploring the social implications of art in our contemporary culture.
Sara de Vos has a rather difficult time painting. Her paintings are often abstract and don't have much in the way of color while they are also cold, black and white. She seems to be stuck in this rut until she meets Pablo - a Spaniard who is anything but what he seems. He shares Sara's abstract vision and together they paint beautiful works that capture the essence of light and life. But it could all be too good to be true - because as soon as Pablo leaves for Madrid, Sara realizes that she needs him more than he needs her.
Sara de Vos takes a painting to be appraised in a gallery, but the painting is stolen right before its unveiling. Sara ends up being accused of the theft and is arrested. As she tries to figure out what happened, she meets an old man that insists he saw the theft. He offers her a deal; if she can prove her innocence, he will reveal the identity of the person who stole the painting from her.
