Paris in August

Works by Adrian George are in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, and in many international collections. His drawings have been reproduced on postage stamps; in 1982 he won an award for creating the most beautiful stamp in the world"". In his poignant and playful diary of a month in Paris in the empty days of August, ""George reacts as a happy habitué rather than a goggle-eyed tourist, relishing the Paris scene at this time of year for its singularity, drained of Parisians and flooded with foreigners"" - The Times. ""His glittering, ironic eye drinks in the beauty, the colours and the nonsense around him"" - Daily Telegraph.
