- Summary:
- From the looming grandeur of Notre Dame to the quaint back streets of Montmartre, no detail of the city escapes the warmth of Moireau's brush. These watercolors and sketches are as adept at capturing the rich architectural detail of the Louvre as they are the soft lighting at the Cimetiere du Pere-Lachouise. They also capture the life of Parisians -- masons repairing a street corner, patrons of a brasserie on the Left Bank -- for people are as much a part of Paris as the Opera House and the Sorbonne.
- Moireau's art offers a visual meditation on the history, aesthetic, and pace of life of one of the world's great cities. American journalist Mary Kelly, the Paris tourism and travel editor for the International Herald Tribune, accompanies Moireau's paintings and sketches with irresistible narrative. In Paris Sketchbook, these perspectives join, providing a glimpse at the physical beauty and interior voice of the Grande Dame of Europe.
