Francois Houtin

Francois Houtin was born in Craon en Mayenne, France on August 25, 1950. He was trained as a landscape architect, and has worked on such prominent projects as the renovation of the Jardin des Tuilleries in 1991.

He began working in printmaking in 1973, and is known for his highly detailed prints of utopian gardens. His prints mix equal parts of superb draughtmanship, deep appreciation for the history of Classical French landscape architecture, and his own unfettered imagination. Houtin creates a unique world of utopian gardens.

*His new catalogue Raisonne has just been published (Nov. 2002) and is available for $50.
