Haute Bohemians: Greece - Miguel Flores-Vianna - Bog

A land immortalized by poets for its otherworldly beauty, Greece is the birthplace of iconic monuments that are known the world over. Yet, at the same time, it is also home to an organic architectural language, the product of centuries of rural and island lifestyles, an heir both to the timelessness of classical architecture and the simplicity of rustic living. Haute Bohemians: Greece showcases the homes of those who live there today, as well as taking a glimpse inside some of the buildings that have played a significant role in the country's history. From the sophisticated residences of fashion designers and the simple yet elegant homes of olive growers, to boutique hotels, futuristic public architecture, museum treasures, and breathtaking scenery, this stunning volume chronicles Flores Vianna's photographic odyssey through the beautiful Greek landscape, bathed in the glow of ethereal light. A self confessed "Hellenophile" who has visited Greece countless times since his childhood, Flores Vianna invites us to join him in paying tribute to his beloved adopted nation, capturing the character and patina of this enchanting country through his trademark intimate, atmospheric photography, and allowing his armchair travel companions to be transported there through his lens.
