Paris is a constant kaleidoscope. Of course there is the magnificence of the 'capital-a' Art, grand architecture, and masterful sculpture; but there is also the adrenaline rush of people-watching, le lèche-vitrines (window shopping), patterns, and 'small-a' art everywhere.
In homage to small-a Parisian art, here are more Paris Patterns.
This time more linear, angular.
Lattice-weave mosaics on a doorway of a residence near Vavin in the 6e arrondissement.
Screws and nails on display at the Marché aux puces at Vanves.
Ceiling at the Sainte Chappelle.
Exterior mosaic of a café on boulevard St. Germain in the 7e.
Windows of an office building at Montparnasse.
Really enjoyed these. Thanks for sharing.
