Download or read book French Art Deco written by Jared Goss and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Deco—the term conjures up jewels by Van Cleef & Arpels, glassware by Laique, furniture by Ruhlmann—is best exemplified in the work shown at the exhibition that gave the style its name: the Exposition Internationale des Art Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925. The exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the objects displayed spoke to a sophisticated modernity yet were rooted in past traditions. Although it quickly spread to other countries, Art Deco found its most coherent expression in France, where a rich cultural heritage was embraced as the impetus for creating something new. the style drew on inspirations as diverse as fashion, avant-garde trends in the fine arts—such as Cubism and Fauvism—and a taste for the exotic, all of which converged in exceptionally luxurious and innovative objects. While the practice of Art Deco ended with the Second World War, interest in it has not only endured to the present day but has grown steadily. Based on the Metropolitan Museum's renowned collection French Art Deco presents more than eighty masterpieces by forty-two designers. Examples include Süe et Mare's furniture from the 1925 Exposition; Dufy's Cubist-inspired textiles; Dunand's lacquered bedroom suite; Dupas's monumental glass wall panels from the SS Normandie; and Fouquet's spectacular dress ornament in the shape of a Chinese mask. Jared Goss's engaging text includes a discussion of each object together with a biography of the designer who created it and is enlivened by generous quotations from writings of the period. The extensive introduction provides historical context and explores the origins and aesthetic of Art Deco. With its rich text and sumptuous photographs, this is not only one of the rare books on French Art Deco in English, but an object d'art in its own right.

This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuous survey of Mexico's foremost photographer Through more than 200 photographs, this luxurious volume presents Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide's most iconic works alongside an important selection of previously unpublished photographs and a series of color photographs specially commissioned by the Fondation Cartier. Working mainly in black and white, Iturbide has explored the cohabitation between ancestral traditions and Catholic rites in Mexico, humanity's relationship with death and the roles of women in society. In recent years, her photographs have emptied themselves of human presence, revealing the enigmatic life of objects and nature. In addition to her stark images of her homeland, this book also includes images from her series in India, the United States and elsewhere. Heliotropo 37, named for the photographer's address in Mexico City, also contains an interview with the photographer by French essayist Fabienne Bradu, an original short story by Guatemalan writer Eduardo Halfon and a photo-portrait of Iturbide's studio by Mexican photographer Pablo López Luz. One of the most influential photographers active in Latin America today, Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide (born 1942) began studying photography in the 1970s with legendary photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Seeking "to explore and articulate the ways in which a vocable such as 'Mexico' is meaningful only when understood as an intricate combination of histories and practices," as she puts it, Iturbide has created a nuanced and sensitive documentary record of contemporary Mexico. She lives and works in Mexico City.

Book excerpt: Catalogue de l'exposition présentée du 9 octobre 2009 au 7 février 2010 au CAPC, Musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux. Insiders rassemble, autour de la thématique intime / collectif, de la notion de folklore et des nouvelles pratiques architecturales, plus de quatre-vingts artistes, architectes et collectifs de tous horizons qui ont en commun des façons de déborder des limites de leurs disciplines (avec un ensemble d'essais, d'entretiens et de contributions spécifiques).A la manière des premiers folkloristes, les artistes contemporains se tournent vers une pratique de recensement de matériaux culturels, tandis que les architectes proposent des modes d'exercices alternatifs en relation avec de nouveaux modes d'appropriation de la ville et de l'architecture. L'ensemble des oeuvres sélectionnées soulève les questions essentielles du rapport qu'entretiennent respectivement l'art et l'architecture avec la culture populaire. Bilingue français anglais.
Download or read book People places written by Swapna Banerjee-Guha and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalogue de l'exposition présentée du 7 mai au 30 septembre 2010 au Musée des Augustins d'Hazebrouck. Un dialogue entre l'art contemporain et les collections historiques sur le thème de la condition humaine. Depuis plusieurs années, la collection du FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais s'enrichit d'oeuvres portant sur des thématiques liées à l'homme et à la place qu'il occupe dans la société. Ainsi, la relation qu'il entretient avec le monde qui l'entoure, les individus, le monde du travail, le territoire sur lequel il vit sont autant de sujets de représentation développés par les artistes contemporains. L'exposition People and Places propose de mettre en regard le fonds photographique du FRAC avec des oeuvres de la collection permanente du Musée des Augustins. Une confrontation historique de points de vue d'artistes qui se rejoignent néanmoins dans l'attention que chacun d'entre eux a pu prêter à l'observation et l'interrogation du quotidien. Textes en français, anglais et allemand.
