French Shoes-2007

About the Book

            In a round-about-way, demand for a closer inspection of the shoe designs of Patrick Sart necessitates this third volume, French Shoes 2007. He further expounds on this subject: Always au courant, you start with bits and pieces, a squiggle here and there, to assemble, to construct a truly original shoe. A vision of artistic interpretation for the coming season of passion not necessarily fashion. A perception of detail is repeated—perhaps in a silhouette of the shoes on pages 32 and 168 sans la material prima one should notice, for example, on page 235.

            By merely thumbing through marvelously comprehensive book one can discover a particularly sublime sketch that could be transmorphed into always wearable-meaning comfy-shoe. “But not for the lady traipsing to the corner market.”, harps the culture maven, Paige Forrest. The old world craftsmanship in their products excels beyond even the most recherché ateliers, ne’cest pas? –where hype is unknown or the element of provocateur-oui?non? Sart simply dismisses these diversions and comments, “They are usually meant for the lush enjoyment and collection with no wedges meaning heels to a point”

About the Author

            In quick succession, world reknown poet instigator, artist, Patrick Sart, completes his grand opus with Volume III, French Shoes 2007. Unlike Shoe Exotica & Poems Volume I and II which created a firestorm of controversy among neo-precisionists on 3 continents, Sart avoids poetry in this final volume and speaks primarily through the language of line and composition with the inclusion of one prototype, a size 5 for that mystery Cinderella.

            The impact these designs will have in years to come is incalculable as they spread and permeate in subtle ways throughout the worldly art and fashion scene while possibly fomenting a franco political renaissance.
