This is a selection of my favourite Celtic and French art and designs

These two paintings are from the Book of Kells

The Book of Kells is the most recognized and most remarkable artifact of medieval Celtic art. It features page after page of lavish, colorful lettering, illumination, decoration and illustration. To a large extent, the great reputation which Celtic art and design have today is based on the exceptional quality of the images found in the Book of Kells.

This is 'The Bathers' byGauguin.

Henri De Toulouse Lautrec painted this poster in the 1890's.It is one of many graphic images that he had a very real affinity and love for - that of the Cabaret and theatre life in Paris around the turn of the century.   This Painting is one of a series on the subject of Cranes and Waterlillies.
