About the Item
Yves Thomas, Vagues et Tempetes (Waves and Storms), French-English book by Yves Thomas, 2011.
Yves Thomas is a recognized French artist born in Normandy, France in 1937.
The most beautiful works of Yves Thomas have something musical, sonata, and symphony mingle in the light of the painting. The black rocks declined in purple-gray, are like the shadows of a mysterious world whose surprising beauty we can observe. In these "visionary" paintings, everything evokes the passage of time, from the wear and tear of stones to stranded ships. Yet, the light of the artwork escapes this erosion so much it is alive and plays with its timelessness.
Islands, reefs, and rocks do not belong to any identifiable country.
Only light gives life and meaning to these landscapes taken from the soul.
This light merges with time which gives birth to these spaces. This time-light stands at the heart of emotion itself.
This spiritual time haunts us with its intrinsic presence and escapes the intellect to exist better. It offers the spectator the possibility of becoming clairvoyant in turn.
Yves Thomas' art is an invitation to an inner journey and the true testimony of an artist who works beyond fashion. He has been able to remain faithful to his dreams. He allowed the light of his paintings to flourish. Through the miracle of creation, Yves Thomas bears witness to the light of our dreams.

About the Artist:
At the age of 14, Yves Thomas copied a large painting by Antoine Jean Gros, named "The plague-stricken of Jaffa," in the Louvre Museum
Yves Thomas readily admits that "the result was not completely satisfactory" but, coming out of adolescence, he mastered drawing.
At 17, Yves Thomas joined the French Navy for five years. One can imagine the artist scrutinizing the ocean waves and attempting to capture their moving forms in his sketchbooks.
During this period, he discovered and practiced "The Camera Lucida" technique assiduously. An increasingly rigorous design naturally leads to his "Ingres" period.
Open to different trends and curious by nature, Yves Thomas began, a few years after, abstract paintings and then returned to a hyperrealistic drawing. Surrealism has a strong influence on the artist's creative world. Many years later, in 1985, Yves Thomas brought it all together, and as a member of the Contemporary Visionary Group, he produced an oeuvre full of life and profound originality.
The works reproduced in this book are all inspired by the Visionary Movement.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.

Paris Secret et Insolite (Secret and Unusual Paris), French book by Rodolphe Trouilleux.
Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris!
The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign...
