Les Facades De Paris - Portes, Balcons Et Garde-corps

This book proposes to discover objects under which we walk daily but that we hardly or no longer look at: the facades. Doors, balconies, railings, all these elements that have been adorning Parisian buildings for two centuries, are now the subject of a study. The illustrations are watercolors by the artist Dominique Mathez, who, with finesse and precision, reproduces all types of facades and their decorations. A preamble is written jointly by Christophe Averty, art journalist, and Joël Orgiazzi, ironworker elected Best Worker in France in 1986.
