With artistry, skill, humor, and a unique perspective, photographers Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo portray Provence as it has never before been seen in ISO extraordinary pictures.
The Provence that captivates this photography team is not merely picturesque scenics and village life but wonderfully composed landscapes, details, and portraits that look like paintings. Following in the tradition of such artists as Matisse, Cézanne, and Van Gogh, Bullaty and Lomeo have regarded Provence as a grand canvas and created the incomparable collection of pictures that are included in this book. Here is a field of glowing sunflowers juxtaposed against a magenta sky; brilliantly colored rows of lavender stretching to the horizon; vernacular windows that look like abstract art; and haunting stonework; to mention a few of their photographic themes.

The Provence that captivates this photography team is not merely picturesque scenics and village life but wonderfully composed landscapes, details, and portraits that look like paintings. Following in the tradition of such artists as Matisse, Cézanne, and Van Gogh, Bullaty and Lomeo have regarded Provence as a grand canvas and created the incomparable collection of pictures that are included in this book. Here is a field of glowing sunflowers juxtaposed against a magenta sky; brilliantly colored rows of lavender stretching to the horizon; vernacular windows that look like abstract art; and haunting stonework; to mention a few of their photographic themes. For more than two decades Bullaty and Lomeo have devoted themselves to portraying the region's color, light, textures, forms, and very essence, and they have discovered views that most visitors and even local people overlook.
Complementing the photographs is a spirited and informative commentary by Marie-Ange Guillaume, a gifted French author, who introduces the region by exploring why painters, writers, and other creative individuals have been attracted to Provence. Like Bullaty and Lomeo, whose Provence extends a bit outside the region's actual borders, other artists have discovered a thousand and one Provences. In the words of Colette, "Naturally you love Provence. But which Provence?" Ranging from rocky, solitary terrains to an exuberance of flowers to marvelous villages, Provence, to its devotees, seems to be enveloped in an excess of colors, chmates, and passion.
This unrivaled celebration of Provence is an inspired gift for travelers, photographers, and admirers of this endlessly fascinating region.
