Claude Dieterich & Jean Larcher - Two Frenchmen - Two Masters

Two Calligraphers & Lettering Artists of  Verona, I  Mean Paris ,  Display at Kalligraphia 13





Claude Dieterich "I Speak With My Hands"

  Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen of  Verona"  is a popular play that I can't help but refer to it.  However, equally huge in scope in the lettering arts are two world class masters from France whose works have been published in several books and whose names are internationally recognized.

The Olympics are happening in London, England and you may assume England ranks number one in terms of tourist visitors but statistics show tourists prefer France as its number one European country to visit  throughout history.  France is known for its romantic language,music, cuisine, fashion,  arts and bohemian life. Louvre is considered the "mother of all museums".  Paris is never boring; it is always dramatic,mysterious, and brimming with romantic illusions & passages.  And so are their artists. Two of them are sharing their artistry at Kalligraphia 13.




Jean Larcher "Senatus Populesque Romanus"

  French teachers who are known for their strict and disciplined ways usually bring out the best in their students. "Etudiante"  or student as Claude  calls me made realize that all those "Etudes" pieces that you'd pratice for your piano,guitar or violin lessons are part of your studies to learn music.

Fortunately both Claude Dieterich   & Jean Larcher have their own websites. Rather than talk about how beautiful, elegant and terrific their artistry are - why don't you check out their websites.

To fall in love with Paris again, I recommend viewing  Woody Allen's screenplay  Midnight in Paris . I saw this movie without knowing any background about the film while I was on a 13-hour  Air France flight  on my 2011 October vacation.

To put you in an enchanting mood and live in a life of pink listen to "La Vie En Rose".
