Book excerpt: The innovative genious of French artist René Lalique (1860-1945) is fully explored and documented in this volume which features one hundred and fifty objects created by the master jeweller . Symbols of the very idea of art nouveau, René Lalique's creations did not limit themselves simply to effecting a stylistic renewal of jewellery. Indeed, Lalique developed a unique form of art somewhere between applied arts, poetry, painting and literature. This volume highlights the technical and poetic contribution of Lalique through a comparison with the creations of such contemporaries and examines Lalique's creative process, through the presentation of a selection of decorative works that inspired him, photographs taken by him, preparatory sketches and life-size studies preceding the creation of a jewel. The authors also contextualize the work as regards the creative arts of the time (theater, literature, music, the glass industry) and the special relationship Lalique had with some of his contemporaries, such as actress Sarah Bernhardt. Through 150 creations---jewellery, glassware, accessories, paintings, photographs, designs for clothes---and authoritative essays, this monograph will illuminate the full range of this ingenious craftsman.

Download or read book Rene Lalique written by Bernard Williams, Mr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially acclaimed for his innovative and exotic jewellery, Ren� Lalique also became arguably the foremost glassmaker of his day. His creative designs within these two disciplines are now rightly considered to be iconic representations of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements.This publication focuses on an area of his work which is relatively unrecognised and is rarely documented in archival collections. Lalique was one of the few French jewellery designers to make any international impact as a medallist, where he proved himself to be both stylistically and technologically innovative. In studies about Lalique, it is rare to find any mention in the biographical details relating to this particular area of expertise and his involvement, during 1914-1918, in helping the French war effort appears to be almost discounted.The book examines an array of pre-war medals and plaquettes that he designed held by the likes of The Corning Museum of Glass, The Rothschild Institute and private collections. Hundreds of photographs spotlight the individual pieces that Lalique created for the great fundraising Journ�es in World War One and help place the various designs into their historical context. Although his formidable abilities as a medallist are frequently overlooked, there is little doubt that this dimension deserves more than just passing notice. This informative and well executed volume is further testament to the artist's quite unique multi-faceted skills.

Download or read book Imperishable Beauty written by Yvonne J. Markowitz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""A new, imperishable beauty," was how the artist and architect Henry van de Velde described it. European Art Nouveau jewelry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries embraced a new aesthetic characterized by sensuous forms, dramatic imagery and vivid symbolism. Many of the designers associated with the movement sought their inspiration not in traditional jewelry, but in the work of the pre-Raphaelites and Impressionists and in the arts of Japan. Rejecting the rigid naturalism typical of European decorative arts, designers such as Ren Lalique and Henry van de Velde, and the artists of the German Jugenstil and Austrian Wiener Sezession movements, created ornaments that expressed the spirit and freedom of the era. These artists and designers adopted a free-flowing line and asymmetrical format that invigorated their work and set it apart, while their use of natural motifs and of the female form imbued their creations with energy, sensuality and dreamy mysticism. But underlying the undeniable exuberance of these works was a fin-de-sicle edginess that endows this period with inexhaustible fascination." "Illustrating nearly eighty ornaments from a single private collection - the finest of its type in America - Imperishable Beauty features all of the major designers and jewelers from this groundbreaking era. Paintings, prints, posters and textiles fill out the presentation, making this book as rich and intoxicating as the aesthetic it portrays."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The set of jewels, drawings, objets d'art and glassware acquired by the Collector directly from the artist, with a single exception, between 1899 and 1927, is well representative of Lalique's work. René Lalique (1860-1945) and Calouste Gulbenkian (1869-1955) shared the experience of a time marked by the fascinating transition of the so-called Belle Époque - with its particular end-of-the-century spirit, present mainly on the remarkable set of Art Nouveau works. Both men were tied by friendship and mutual consideration, well evidenced in the words of the Collector: "My admiration for his unique work increased throughout the fifty years our friendship lasted... I am proud to own, I believe, the largest number of Lalique's works...".

This thorough history is a dazzling jewelbox of a book.
