It all started with this wonderful photo of the 19 It all started with this wonderful photo of the 1965 Eglise Stella Matutina in St Cloud. Architect Alain Bourbonaise …. Just surfacing from a trip down the research rabbit hole that led to a ‘magical order’ that shares the church’s name Stella Matutina. The secret order, who favoured joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was devoted to the study and practice of occult hermeticism and metaphysics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Add into the mix the ‘Secret Chiefs’ (very 1990s band name). Who knows where this will lead!!! Please add your thoughts. Clearly there’s more to be added to this post. Gazing into a crystal ball might help! Photo with thanks to @bsantiard
Flaine, architect Marcel Breuer’s 1969 brutalist s Flaine, architect Marcel Breuer’s 1969 brutalist ski resort in the Giffre Mountain range. The driving force leading the project to bring Breuer to the mountains was the US-based French couple, Eric and Sylvie Boissonnas. They and their extended family (the de Menil and Schlumbergers) were part of the philanthropic modernist architecture and arts scene in the US, underpinned by oil money. According to Centre Art de Flaine, ‘They entrusted the construction of their home at Cap Bénat to Philip Johnson who, like Marcel Breuer, was living in their neighbourhood in New Canaan, Connecticut.’ In the late 1950s developing luxury winter destinations was back in fashion. Keen to put Flaine on the map as a sophisticated skiing resort, the Boissannas’ had the necessary financial clout to achieve it. Sylvie’s particular interest was to develop the resort’s arts and culture scene, by all accounts she’d already donated some major art works to the Pompidou in Paris. In any other set of circumstances it would have been unusual to open a resort gallery with a Picasso in place, but quite the contrary in the case of Flaine, Sylvie ensured that Le Boqueteau by Jean Dubuffet and Head of a Woman by Picasso came to the mountains. Breuer worked on the project from 1960 until he retired in 1977, juggling his time there whilst continuing to work on other projects in the US. Photo with thanks to @thijs.demeulemeester
