New Orleans Premier Pastel Artist,
By John Preble "UCM Museum Director" (ABITA SPRINGS, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Alan Flattmann’s French Quarter Impressions (Hardcover)
Alan Flattmann is THE New Orleans French Quarter artist. This incredible city has influenced countless artists, and for good reason -- many people say that this old neighborhood is more European than many European cities. The incredible scope of the work is impressive. There is a major painting (oil or pastel) on almost every page. Jazz bands, Mardi Gras revelers, historic store fronts, wrought iron railings, and beautiful architecture - it is all here.
