Les Lalanne
While in Paris I was able to see some works by French husband-and-wife artists François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne at JGM gallerie, and I left so inspired! I haven’t come across many books on them except for one that I wasn’t able to check out of the library this weekend, so I snuck some images back with me. Their works have lived in the homes of Yves Saint Laurent, Coco Chanel, Valentino.. and are so imaginative and beautiful with that touch of craziness that I love.
“The supreme art is the art of living.” -François-Xavier Lalanne
