Grand Prix Du Faubourg (Le)

Note:

Observe the striking similarities to this Monet masterpiece, The Rue Saint-Denis, Celebration of 30th June 1878, 1878

From the book Claude Monet, Masterpieces of Art >> On Sunday, 30th June 1878, to celebrate the Exposition Universelle, patriotic crodws fervently waived their tricolour flags. Monet painted two pictures on the day, both from high on balconies. His flickering brushwork skillfully captures the atmosphere.

Ugo Gattoni loves visual games, optical pile-ups. His extremely delicate, controlled hand and his whimsical spirit become the creators of abundant dream worlds where every corner conceals a surprise, a strange detail. "An oneiric race through a phantasmagorical Faubourg" aptly captures the spirit of the design. A fanciful profusion from which emerge architectural forms, advertising hoardings, stories and anecdotes from all the epochs of this Parisian street, where Hermes opened almost two centuries ago. Crowds surge around the bend of the Faubourg, colourful, festive, dynamic. Racing cyclists cheered on by the crowd, flying boats, Zeppelins and balloons occupy every inch of the scarf.
