Francois Halard: A Visual Diary on Sale

Francois Halard s unique photographic sensibility–old-world elegant and bohemian, accessible and personal–is unmistakable. Each image is imbued with the intimate knowledge of design history, each story a lesson in a master s point of view.

This book is a continuation of his last volume of gorgeous photography of grand interiors, artists studios, and architectural pilgrimage sites. Each story s subject matter is not just a personal passion of the photographer, but also an indispensable chapter in design history: Philip Johnson and Charles James s de Menil House, Giorgio Morandi s studio, Rick Owens s radical Paris apartment, Eileen Gray s recently restored modernist home on the French coast, Dries Van Noten s verdant garden and home, the home and studio of Louise Bourgeois in New York, and many more.
