Rue Fortuny - Paris 17, 19h20

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 dance softens into dusk. From the chord D♭maj9 it draws the spirit of rue Fortuny by the Parc Monceau at twenty past seven: teal and a grey half-moon, orange and red, blue against a black edge — elegant stone at dusk. It holds the square (column 8, row 3) of the mosaic, which fully assembled forms an abstract portrait of Paris.
