Fine Fabrics

Anyone who is a fan of New Orleans-based artist Alexis Walter — best known for her abstract impasto and watercolor art — can now enjoy even more of her work thanks to a new fabric line dubbed Alexis Walter Maison. Shapes from Walter’s personal garden and hues from her pastel-colored paintings inspired the first installment of the 100-percent Belgian linen fabric line, which debuts this fall/winter season. alexiswalterart.com

Coffee Table-Worthy
In his new book, “Sacred Ground: The Cemeteries of New Orleans” (Oct. 8, 2019, Princeton Architectural Press), Robert S. Brantley presents rich duotone photographs of New Orleans’ legendary cemeteries. The photographs depict otherworldly landscapes, intricate ironwork and stately monuments, while biographies of 20 individuals whose grave sites are among those featured help to further reveal insights to the Crescent City’s storied past. “Sacred Ground” also features an index identifying the tombs and their iconography, and an introduction by S. Frederick Starr provides background on New Orleans’ cemetery history, culture and burial customs. papress.com
