Author Lanie Goodman has gathered a collection of 14 amazing properties which sum up all that is French and romantic, from the city streets of Paris to Mégève in the French Alps, from the windswept coast of Normandy, to the heart of Provence and the sun-baked shores of the Riviera.

Eighty-eight works of deep reflection, awe, and joy selected for this volume were created in his home and garden in Cap D'Antibes, France, overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Raffael's radiant vision of the natural world, including flowers, fish and water, has garnered critical praise throughout his long career. \"Despite their iconic serenity when seen from a distance,\" wrote art critic Robert Hughes, \"Raffael's paintings disclose a bejewelled profusion of incident close up,\" concluding that the artist's colour-drenched canvases display  \"a tender virtuosity without parallel in other American figurative painting today.\"        It might be said that water, a symbol of life and constant change, is both Raffael's muse and teacher. The artist becomes its conduit as his colour-saturated brush glides along the surface of the white paper. \"Watercolours have a mind of their own. I just need to show up and be present,\" he tells Betsy Dillard Stroud in her interview with the 82-year old artist. Lanie Goodman, a fellow resident in the South of France, visits Raffael at work in his light- filled studio, which she describes, in her biographical profile of the artist, as his haven and heaven.  With tables of brushes and glass dishes of paint, the carefully cultivated garden by his wife Lannis, and the blue sea beyond, Raffael joins the long legacy of artists - Bonnard, Renoir, Matisse, Leger among them - nourished by this life and vista.  Raffael's home, where artist and nature are in constant dialogue, accounts for the artist's luminous painting, their symphonic colour, and the splendour we behold in them. In his essay \"A Walk in Beauty,\" David Pagel identifies Raffael's worlds within worlds as profound instances of big-picture thinking - the best possible experience of both Nature and Art.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49758321770769,"sku":"GOR012607308","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1851498052.jpg?v=1751346519"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-lanie-goodman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
