Extensive research, conducted in both French and English, reveals intimate and fascinating detail in the lives of artists and writers who found new ways to express themselves and the world around them.

The Colors of Catalonia is perfect for art lovers who want to leave the crowded museums of Paris and Barcelona, visitors looking for a splendid region to discover, and art students who want to be inspired. “The Colors of Catalonia fascinates with its stories of the artists who found their inspiration there, and it beautifully captures the essence of a region for a new generation of travelers.”—Thomas Swick, A Way to See the World: From Texas to Transylvania with a Maverick TravelerVirginie Raguenaud was born and raised in France, and her family has owned property in Catalonia for nearly half a century. Virginie’s first book, Bilingual By Choice: Raising Kids in Two (or More!) Languages, was published in 2009.
