Book Art Deco Jewelry

Download or read book Art Deco Jewelry written by Sylvie Raulet and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1985 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the extravagant forms of Art Nouveau, the Art Deco movement represented a return to simplicity and severity. As this book richly demonstrates, in that period jewelry found a virtually unlimited source of renewal. Designers drew inspiration from the entire vivid spectrum of the plastic arts: riotous colors in explosive combinations from the Ballets Russes and the Fauves, geometric shapes from Cubism and Suprematism, the contrast of black and white from Neo-Plasticism, and a fascination with the mechanical world from Futurism. Nor were its exponents confined to the modern European world: an Egyptian vogue was prompted by the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, while other themes were borrowed from the Far East, Persia, and Africa. Art Deco Jewelry displays through sumptuous illustrations, coupled with a lucid and informative text, the creations of the haute joaillerie (jewelers such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels) and of the avant-garde designers -- Jean Fouquet, Raymond Templier, Gerard Sandoz, Jean Durand, and Paul Brandt -- to whom we owe some of the most daring and brilliant jewels of the period. There is also an exquisite range of accessories: dainty vanity cases fashioned with the maximum of detail in the minimum of space, boxes and cigarette cases, and a spectacular array of clocks. With the addition of succinct biographies of the most innovative and influential jewelers of the day, a select bibliography, and a glossary, this book serves as an essential reference for anyone interested in the period or in superb examples of the jeweler's art.

The spotlight is on leading art and design figures, and the working methods and styles of the most famous production houses throughout the course of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a first, documenting the development of modern design in mass-produced jewellery from the post-war years to the present. An autonomous trend in jewellery - albeit related to modern art architecture and design - it has become established mainly in the German-speaking countries. Nowadays jewellery designed in Germany in medium-sized factories and studios represents a major countertrend to conventional luxury jewellery. Since the 1990s, interest in this kind of jewellery has been growing outside Germany as well, in the US, in Europe and Asia. The author begins with a brief retrospective of the origins of modern jewellery: Art Nouveau, Art Déco, Bauhaus and New Objectivity. The revival of goldsmithing from the mid-1960s provided the formal and intellectual foundation for what is now happening in modern mass-produced jewellery design. A large illustrated section gives an historical overview of those developments as shown by the most important classic modern jewellery design and leading current exponents with their exceptional designer pieces.

Book Art Deco Jewellery

    Book Details:
  • Author : Christianne Weber
  • Publisher : Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt GmbH
  • Release : 2002
  • ISBN : 9783897901797
  • Pages : 288 pages

Download or read book Art Deco Jewellery written by Christianne Weber and published by Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt GmbH. This book was released on 2002 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A geometric formal idiom reminiscent of Cubism and the aesthetic of the machine, colored plastic and chrome are synonymous with art deco costume jewelry, which was widespread throughout the 1920s and '30s Europe. Hitherto classified by specialists in the field as 'French Jewelry', these objects were in fact created in the Chain and Jewelry factory founded in 1873 by Jakob Bengel in Idar-Oberstein. The Bengel production from 1928 until 1936 is distinguished by extraordinary innovation and distinctive individuality surpassing anything comparable from other contemporaneous makers. Jakob Bengel, who was Ernst Hartenberger's son-in-law, also possesses the business acumen to market and distribute his wares worldwide. More than 250 pieces of jewelry are shown and described in the present book. Moreover, this monograph is the first in-depth study of the subject, drawing extensively on the Bengel pattern books from 1924 to 1936. The more than 20,000 drawings in color reproduced in them are invaluable sources for understanding designers and design practice.

Book Twentieth century Jewelry

Download or read book Twentieth century Jewelry written by Lodovica Rizzoli Eleuteri and published by Abbeville Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectacularly beautiful, this authoritative book presents jewelry designs of this century. With almost two hundred full-color photographs specially commissioned for this book and archival pictures of pieces that have disappeared into private collections, the volume features the finest artworks in precious metals and jewels from collections around the world, including creations by Lalique, Cartier, Boucheron, Bulgari, Tiffany, and David Webb. The fascinating text surveys the glittering world of gems with an illustrated introductory essay investigating the development of jewelry design at the end of the 1800s, and the shift from Victorian and Art Nouveau works to pieces stamped with the personality and vision of a single designer. The next chapter thoroughly examines the successive revolutions in style of the twentieth century. The balance of the book is a cornucopia of photographs portraying pieces from the beginning of the century through the 1960s: the grand era of commissions and patrons. Here you will find the Duchess of Windsor's famous necklace of diamonds and rubies as well as a fabulous pin in the shape of a World War II tank, and a veritable menagerie of diamond-studded elephants, enameled tigers, and jade dragons. This thorough history is a dazzling jewelbox of a book.
