InEverything is HappeningJacobs searches for the ultimate significance of the painting by following the many associations suggested by each of its characters, as well as his own relationship to the work.From Jacobs' first trip to Spain to the politics of Golden Age Madrid, to his meeting with the man who savedLas Meninasduring the Spanish Civil war, to his experiences in the sunless world of the art history academy, Jacobs delivers a brilliantly discursive meditation on art and life that dissolves the barriers between the past and the present, the real and the illusory.
