The Crescent City. The Northernmost Caribbean City. The City that Care Forgot. The Venice of North America. Many efforts have been made to describe the style of Orlenas; a city at once enigmatic and complex. New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence is an impressionistic photographic essay that reveals what words can only partially convey. A paean to the art of Orleans living, this book features the interiors, furnishings, art collections, and gardens of Orleans residences that fuse refined elegance with an undercurrent of cultivated decadence. This book also explores how the combination of a semi-tropical climate, a strongly European and Catholic culture, essential African influences, and the revelry of Mardi Gras have created a contemporary ambiance unlike that of any other city in Ameica. Richard Sexton's expressive vision of the city today is complemented by Randolph Delehanty's historical perceptions. New Orlenas: Elegance and Decadence celebrates the joyous spirit of this distinctive culture and is an inspiration to those of us everwhere who pursue the art of living.
