post a commentsuperb shot. absolutely superb. combination of pride and humilty. perfect.
who wouldn't want to spend all day in this outfit?!
(i would)
your past few photos have all been repeat posts.. can't find enough material these days, sart?
Looks like a totally happy man who doesn't give a damn about style but achieves a slightly odd variant of it.
Exactly how I picture French painters.
I can smell the paint...and the bread.
Fabulous!
To Anon 9:24
Well they are not repeats but I did post them first at Style.com
After a few weeks it is very hard to find my guest blog on Style.com so I wanted to make sure those photos are available here.
Notice though that I continue to post new images everyday
I see it as an added benefit,
Plus I think most people feel more comfortable creating a discussion about the photos here on my blog
i dont get it. is this shot included because he has no fashion intention? i like the shot. as a photographer...kudos.
Now if only he had a dachshund. And a Gauloise?
Interestingly, I don't think I've ever seen a cigarette in one of your photos.
Anon one.
Piss off or post with a name.
I do not mind the repeats as the originals make up for it.
I really, really love this shot!
Do you sell prints?
cool !! i like what he wears !!
my gosh !!
Love the Yves Klein (or is it YSL's garden in Marrakesh?) blue background. Would that we all could be as happy as your painter!
For a non-academically-trained photographer (at least, I think), Sart has an incredible eye. This is the photographic version of a Van Gogh or Cezanne - the pose, the loaf of bread, the everyman quality. I just love it and sent a note to my mom to be sure to look at this particular photo. Thanks for bringing a little beauty to my Thursday.
Authentic work-wear or a jillion-dollar artfully distressed deconstruction thereof?
This is about the reciprocity between the street and Fashion. In all, very satisfying.
He looks like a regular construction worker in NYC except for the baguette under his arm.
sart, you were very polite to anonymous up there at 9:24, whose snarkiness seems completely pointless and unfounded. I have no such reserve.
show us whatever the hell you please, please. It's only getting better.
Hello, Mr. The Sartorialist
Im a chilean journalist very intested in fashion from a sociology point of view. I have to say that I find your blog outstanding specially for all the gentlemen pictures that appear. Thanks for doing this and for giving us a page that makes you look everyday for new pictures.
I love all thigns French but I always wonder how they do it: They take one shower a week and almost daily carry their baguettes under their armpits...
What would you do if this sympathique looking painter offers you a piece of his bread?
Well now you're just wasting bandwidth. Don't just post anything.
France lives!
Please do post your style.com photos here also, they are all part of the Sartorialist experience.
And since Vogue's website is sort of rubbish, your photos there are also the best part of style.com.
I bet this guy was a bit surprised. "What, you want to take a picture of my FASHION? are you crazy?"
Great photo, though.
If this had been a guy walking down the street in Anamosa, Iowa, it would have been no big deal. But since this was taken in Paris it's suddenly a work of art.
A number of years ago, I stayed with my boyfriend's cousin and her boyfriend at their apt Le Marais. We stayed with them for 10 days and had only two meals outside the home. The boyfriend taught math at University, was a socialist and boy, he loved his bread. He was very loyal to one particular boulongerie and was very specific about the time to go. After that time, well, you should just forget it. These guys would have a lot to talk about, namely the best baguette in Paris. Sorry for the lengthy comment but this guy just made my day and brought back a lovely memory. Thx Sart!
love reading your blog, keep it haute
I don't have time to check both sites, so thanks for sharing them here as well Sart!
Bring on the Style.com posts and/or stuff from the archives whenever you feel like it! I love the parallels between the clothing and the background in this photo. The blue colors are so rich.
Oui! Biensure! J'aime beaucoup ca.
Passed this earlier today and didn't think much of it...nor the "baguette" (which is standard fare here in Montreal, too).
Now that I read the title and see that this is France, it's much more endearing for some reason.
Allez-y,
mltt
I love that your blog isn't simply about photos of nice outfits... this is beautiful portraiture! He might not be in the loveliest of clothes, but you captured the right attitude, confidence, grace--and that's 98% of style isn't it?
This blog is extremely refreshing. Thank you.
Yay! Finally something I have -- multiple work aprons that look just like this. Do they count? :-)
I would love to see the kind of painting he does.
the baguette!!!
I love this. His stance and his demeanor are perfect.
The blue, the baguette, the open pockets ... Ooo la, la.
And thanks for posting whatever you want, when you want!
great look on his face. reminds me of keith richards for some reason. same spirit somehow. love it. and the bread under the arm brings me right back to france. thanks! - minette
I think this man would have a good laugh, a guffaw, if reading these comments about him...he is "true"--he is who he is. Ah, the beauty of that.
Sleeper @ 10:17 AM: Interestingly, I don't think I've ever seen a cigarette in one of your photos.
---------------------------------------------
I remember one or two a while back. Commenters here panned them for smoking.
theres something very appealing that i cant put my finger on
Beautiful! I would like to spend my days in an outfit like this.
Anon 5:00pm
of course i would have shot him in Iowa
to me he is no different than the guys i shot at the Fulton Fish Market in NYC
there is just a style about him that goes past his clothing
in Iowa this shot would be of a wrestling coach
please post your style.com photos here after it's had a run there - i don't have time to search for your photos there anyway! besides, i much prefer the elegant & minimal look & feel of your site (& of course the photos!) it's like a little piece of fine chocolate each day :-) thanks
He has a certain nonchalance, an arrogance, that permeates his very self. The work-wear, splattered paint, and worn out cloth is a look seen all over the western world, recognisable, familiar... and yet... his pony tailed hair, breton cap and chiseled good looks say something else, convey another individual swept by time and daubing paint onto large framed canvases. This makes me want to know more....
Looks like RRL, huh? Remember Helmut Lang's painter's jeans?
your eye!
Fantastic. One of my faves here.
Aaawwww, French, workingman chic! The bread is just a classic accessory!
When I was in Paris last I saw a little boy, about 4, with a little bagguette; I wanted to just hug him!

"the photographic version of a Van Gogh or Cezanne" have you seen a one before????
"I would love to see the kind of painting he does." r u sure??
amazing!!!!
I love the pure simplicity of him...as is...not trying to be what really is fantastic and beautiful
This is one of the painters working on Isable Marant's 'just opened' new boutique on rue Saintonge !!
(we've got our own boutique just down the road on rue de Poitou )
style without style - perfect.
COOOL!
An artist
That man knows he wears his painty coveralls and workboots with more style than most of us put together. That IS style.
