60 rue La Fontaine — Hôtel Mezzara - Paris 16, 16h20

One of the 72 Facets of Paris, a series born of a piano waltz of the same name: the artist gave each of its seventy-two measures the harmony of a Parisian place at a given hour, then painted each harmony into colour and form through his ideamorphic method. The waltz eases now, the afternoon waning. From the chord B♭−9 it draws the spirit of Guimard's Hôtel Mezzara on rue La Fontaine at twenty past four: grey-blue and magenta, ochre and red, purple and an orange arc — Art Nouveau curves in the late afternoon. It holds the square (column 7, row 2) of the mosaic, which fully assembled forms an abstract portrait of Paris.
