Doily street art by Smot

I've been seeing these all over my neighbourhood (Ménilmontant, Paris) and thought I would share.
I love the idea.

Residency in Paris with 'VINGT Paris'

  
The residency is open to artists–based anywhere but Paris–working in all mediums, be it drawing, installation, photography, video, sculpture, painting, performance, writing or other.
We look for curious and open-minded artists who value engaged research as well as an exciting artistic outcome, and who have an interest in working in and with contemporary Paris.
The invited artist is free to work in any way s/he wishes, as long as the work relates to or deals with the city–and more specifically Paris–as a subject.

Residency provides: a 15m2 studio apartment in Paris 15th arrondissement (hosting one artist). 
Residency period: November 20, 2011 – December 20, 2011

Willy Ronis

An exhibition has opened this week in Paris to celebrate Willy Ronis' legendary work. Visitors to the Monnaie de Paris on the Left Bank of the Seine will be able to discover some of the late photographer's most famous works alongside of some more secretive snapshots of his quest to define humanism's aestheticism.

This beautiful poster for the exhibition is presenting one of his most famous picture, Provençal Nude, 1949, a picture of his wife.

A certain idea of Beauty.

Willy Ronis died at age 99, on September 12, 2009.
