An American In Paris

Join LeRoy Neiman for a visit to his Paris. Come stroll the city's great boulevards, and visit its many majestic monuments; sample its magnificent museums, its nightlife, and its parks; taste its unsurpassed wine and food; and, above all, sit in its cafes. In An American In Paris, you will see this city as never before - through the eyes of one of America's most popular artists. A unique feature of this lavishly scaled, oversized book is a 24-page section from a sketchbook Neiman worked in while at a table at Fouquet's in 1991 and 1992. In it we experience the full theatrical humor and excitement of spending time at this "badge of café royalty, a regal wrapping around the corner of the Champs-Elysées and the Avenue George-V." With Neiman's lush, evocative art and witty commentary, Paris is depicted as never before.
