Art

We had the pleasure of visiting a distinguished, highly productive, multi-dimensional artist, Albert Masri, in his home and studio in Montferrier sur la Lez, north of Montpellier.  He is the father of a friend of Bori's son, Rick.  (Thanks to Rick, thanks to Gilles, and thanks to Albert and his daughter Barbara who showed us around.)


The house is solidly built from part of an old castle.  As you approach the house, art is everywhere.



Inside the house, there is even more art.  He has worked in various types of sculpture, ceramics, pastels, and collage to name a few.  He has lived in the same house for over 50 years, and continued to produce art the whole time.




This is only a taste of his vast body of work.  We enjoyed visiting this talented artist and very warm, kind gentleman.
