Book excerpt: Berlin, 1938. When Beatrice, a young Irish Protestant lace maker, is whisked away from her dreary life to join the household of Felix and Dorthea Metzenburg, she feels like she’s landed in the middle of a fairy tale. Art collectors, and friends to the most fascinating men and women of Europe, the Metzenburgs are part of a world where there is more to desire than she ever imagined. However Germany has launched its campaign of aggression across Europe, and, before long, the conflict reaches the family’s threshold. Retreating to their country estate, the Metzenburgs do their best to ignore the encroaching war until the realities of hunger, illness, and Nazi terror begin to threaten their very existence. In searing and emotional detail, The Life of Objects illuminates Beatrice’s journey from childhood to womanhood, from naïveté to wisdom, as a continent collapses into darkness around her.

Download or read book Japanese Art and Design written by Joe Earle and published by Victoria & Albert Museum. This book was released on 2000 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published for the opening of the Toshiba Gallery of Japanese art at the Victoria & Albert Museum, this book celebrates and sets in context many of its greatest treasures. The Musuem's superb Japanese holdings, acquired over a period of one hundred and fifty years, started with the international exhibitions of the second half of the nineteenth century and the great private collections formed in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth. More recently they have been extended by the purchase of major pieces including exciting contemporary works by leading artists. The result is an unrivalled panorama of Japan's achievements in art and design from the earliest times, with particular emphasis on ceramics, lacquer, textiles, prints and metalwork of the last four centuries.
