Giverny; from the brilliant feathers of purple hummingbirds and doves to stained-
glass windows, royal robes, and velvet upholstery; from the palest lilac to the
deepest violet, the variety of purple is astonishing. Illustrated with Mota's own
photographs, taken as he has traveled the world, as well as images by renowned
photographers, P: Forever Purple even features purple rooms by notable designers,
among them.

testament to the power of purple to inspire, excite, and fascinate.
