Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attracting over fifteen million visitors, the 1925 Paris Expo had an ambitious goal to create a new modernist style which would reflect the great scientific, industrial, and technological advances that produced a new spirit known as "modern." In April in Paris, author Irena R. Makaryk explores the theatre arts' vital cultural and political impact at this celebrated international exhibition. Drawing extensively from unexplored archival documents from France, Austria, and North America, April in Paris is the first major study to focus on theatre arts at the 1925 Paris Expo and the audacious Soviet contributions to this fair. Turning a spotlight on the uses and representations of theatricalized spaces, Makaryk analyses their political challenge at a time when relations between the West and the USSR were rife with tension. Copiously illustrated with beautiful colour and black and white illustrations, this book elucidates the complex role of the international fair as a catalyst for spirited cultural debate and for aesthetic change.

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.

Download or read book Berenice Abbott portraits parisiens written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berenice Abbott en 1925 photographiait ses premiers portraits sur le balcon du studio de Man Ray à Paris. Soixante-cinq ans plus tard, en 1990, elle prenait son dernier portrait dans un bateau sur le lac d'Hebron dans le Maine, à quelques centaines de mètres du chalet dans lequel elle a passé ses dernières années. Abbott réalisait généralement ses portraits parisiens dans son propre studio, d'abord 44, rue du Bac, puis 18, rue Servandoni, mais aussi parfois sur place, au domicile du client, comme son premier portrait de James Joyce. En juin 1926, Jan Sliwinski exposa dans sa galerie des photographies de James Joyce, Jean Cocteau, Sylvia Beach, Marie Laurencin ou André Gide parmi tant d'autres. Les hommes et les femmes photographiés par Berenice Abbott étaient liés - socialement, intellectuellement, artistiquement ou sentimentalement. Elle ne photographiait pas des inconnus, à la différence d'Atget, qu'elle contribua à sortir de l'ombre. Ce livre, conçu par Hank O'Neal, regroupe plus de cent portraits, dont la plupart sont inédits. Les plaques de verre brutes, telles qu'elles sortaient de sa chambre noire, sont présentées avec le recadrage qu'elle souhaitait. Portraits parisiens est un livre rare au service d'une photographe essentielle dans l'art du portrait, de l'architecture ou de la photographie scientifique.
