Description - Paris et d'Ailleurs by Michel Paoli
Michel Paoli's eye records each and every manifestation of beauty it stumbles upon: from the visages of kids immersed in reading to the supine bodies of bathers, from the bales of hay on Tuscan hills to the fleeting legs of Parisian passers-by. This collection of 120 images focuses many on Paris and Montmartre, Les Petites-Dalles and France, and - to a lesser degree - on Italy and other countries such as Brasil. Text in English, French, and Italian.
