Five small letters for such a grand city. Paris is an open-air museum, a living novel, a movie set, and a constantly evolving metropolis. Its architecture and way of life charm people around the world. It inspires and ignites passions, even in the hearts of the French. In “Paris Watercolors,” every street corner, neighborhood, or monument becomes a work of art. Its charms are perfectly captured through the expertise and brushwork of Fabrice Moireau.
Twenty years after its initial publication, this album gets a fresh look with 150 new watercolors. The unique aspect? They extend beyond the historic center and its iconic landmarks. Thus, Paris enthusiasts will enjoy observing the modern districts of the capital. Benoît Duteurtre and his elegant prose accompany us on this journey, expressing his love and admiration for Paris. He adds a new literary dimension to this artistic celebration, a true ode to love.
Long-time Parisians, former residents, or occasional visitors, let Paris reconquer your heart in this beautiful watercolor book that pays homage to the city.
Fabrice Moireau, born in 1962, graduated from the National School of Applied Arts and Crafts. From his numerous travels, he brings back sketchbooks that serve as cultural and ethnographic testimonies. Passionate about architecture, gardens, and plants in general, his ambition is to convey, through watercolors, the subtlety of the play of light and the atmosphere of a street or landscape.
