Women of the world x 200

It took 6 years of travelling to 15 regions of the world to put together the exhibition of paintings, drawings, photos and texts currently showing at Musée de l’Homme in Paris. It includes 200 portraits of women, mostly gouache and ink drawings, by French artist and former professional navigator Titouan Lamazou (make sure you go and see his work by following that link!)

This remarkable guy never stopped drawing and painting during his sailing career. In 1993, after the sinking of his boat, the TAG Heuer, he devoted himself exclusively to art, publishing two volumes of travel diaries, Carnets de voyage (1998 and 2000), and a book with photographer Raymond Depardon, Rêves de desert. He has written a novel and is also known for the cover art of French singer Renaud’s album in 2002. He was appointed UNESCO artist for peace in 2003 for his work on portraits of women of the world.
