Colors of Provence: Traditions, Recipes, and Home Decorations from the South of France
Artists have long been attracted to Provence for the quality of the light and for the dramatic color; nowColors of Provencedemonstrates just what Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and others found there. Divided into chapters entitled "Red," "Orange," "Yellow," "Green," "Blue," and "White, Black, & Gray," the book is a feast of photographs celebrating the vermillion walls of a small French village, the shades of green in a Provençal herb garden, the cerulean blue of lavender spindles. In and around these luscious photos Michel Biehn weaves a net of words describing the culture and customs of Provence, with a few recipes thrown in for good measure.The Colors of Provenceis a book made for dreaming over, ideal for those who have seen Provence for themselves, and those who hope to one day.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
