Download or read book The Life Cycle of Russian Things written by Matthew P. Romaniello and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life Cycle of Russian Things re-orients commodity studies using interdisciplinary and comparative methods to foreground unique Russian and Soviet materials as varied as apothecary wares, isinglass, limestone and tanks. It also transforms modernist and Western interpretations of the material by emphasizing the commonalities of the Russian experience. Expert contributors from across the United States, Canada, Britain, and Germany come together to situate Russian material culture studies at an interdisciplinary crossroads. Drawing upon theory from anthropology, history, and literary and museum studies, the volume presents a complex narrative, not only in terms of material consumption but also in terms of production and the secondary life of inheritance, preservation, or even destruction. In doing so, the book reconceptualises material culture as a lived experience of sensory interaction. The Life Cycle of Russian Things sheds new light on economic history and consumption studies by reflecting the diversity of Russia's experiences over the last 400 years.

Carl Faberge was, first and foremost, a goldsmith, and the exquisite objects that came out of the Faberge workshop at its peak represent the ultimate refinement of the goldsmith's art. Each piece was designed with the express purpose of bringing joy to its recipient. Accomplishments of the Faberge workshop were not limited to precious metals and lapidary work. Their enameling techniques consistently attained a subtlety adn brilliance of technique that had rarely been matched elsewhere - the work glows with richly colored enamels used with unrivaled virtuosity.

Download or read book Faberg written by Tatiana Fabergé and published by Editions Slatkine. This book was released on 2012 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ce jour plus de 3000 livres ont été publiés sur Carl Fabergé, la plupart d'auteurs se contentant de répéter systématiquement les mêmes choses et de mentionner les mêmes légendes et histoires. La majorité de ces ouvrages se basent sur les informations fournies par Eugène Carlovich Fabergé dans les années 30 ou H.C. Bainbridge, le premier à avoir écrit une biographie sur Carl Fabergé en 1949. L'incapacité d'acquérir du matériel conséquent avait comme impact auprès des érudits qu'ils ne pouvaient pas vérifier leur travail. Des lettres écrites par le Tsar, des factures Fabergé, des documents du Cabinet ou des inventaires des Bolcheviks ont été cachés en Russie depuis la Révolution. D'autres documents, comme les actes/dossiers de la famille Fabergé passés d'une génération à l'autre, n'étaient pas accessibles aux chercheurs. Ces dossiers contiennent entre autres des livres de caisse, des listes de marchandises confisquées pendant la période soviétique à Saint Petersbourg et Moscou, ainsi qu'une collection photographique comprenant notamment le service de table en argent fabriqué par Fabergé Moscou pour le grand industriel Alexander Kelkh. Pendant dix ans, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont consulté et étudié ces archives inédites. Ce livre extraordinaire comprend une abondante iconographie et des documents approuvés, la plupart inédits à ce jour. Ce manuel est un chef-d'oeuvre, LE livre de référence sur l'histoire fascinante de la Maison Fabergé.

Download or read book The Companion Guide to New York written by Michael Leapman and published by Companion Guides. This book was released on 1999 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `The perfect guide to this tremendous city' OBSERVER Written with unfailing common sense, as well as insight and affection... the perfect guide to this tremendous city OBSERVER A true traveller's companion and friend SUNDAY TELEGRAPH For more thanthirty years Michael Leapman has been intimately involved with New York as a journalist, resident or frequent visitor. Here he takes readers with him on a series of walks through the heart of Manhattan and beyond, explaining howit came to be the world's most fabulous city, as well as revealing its present-day secrets. When the original edition of this incomparable guide was published in 1983, it won the Thomas Cook award as the guide book of the year. After he revised it in 1991 it was chosen by New York Magazine as the best of nearly a hundred books about the city. Now he has been back to retrace his steps. Thoroughly updated, this book is packed with inspiration, revelation, and sound practical advice. MICHAEL LEAPMAN lived in New York for seven years, as correspondent for The Times, reporting perceptively on the city's delights and foibles. He continues to visit New York regularly and to write about it for magazines and other newspapers. This is a reissue of a book first published in 1983 and last revised in 2000. It therefore includes references to and descriptions of the World Trade Center. These have been left in for historical interest.
