Description

Linteaux de Paris dévoile les qualités urbanistiques et l’élégance architecturale de la ville et de ses quartiers sous un angle inusité. Pour ces portraits horizontaux en deux tons, Thaddeus Holownia a braqué sa fidèle chambre photographique grand format sur des linteaux de pierre sculptés qui coiffent des portes majestueuses dans la capitale française. L’ouvrage de grandes dimensions réunit plus de quarante clichés qui offrent une vision insolite d’un aspect distinctif de la Ville Lumière. Le livre accompagne l’exposition du même nom présentée jusqu’à la fin de l’année à la Galerie d’art Beaverbrook.
