Download or read book Chinese Porcelain of the 19th and 20th Centuries written by H. A. van Oort and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the favourable reception of The Porcelain of Hung-hsien, it soon became apparent that a follow-up was needed in order to broaden the scope of the subject and cover the 19th and 20th centuries. Since most readers are unacquainted with the porcelain of this period, it seemed essential to provide a large number of photographs to corroborate my arguments. They have been taken mainly of lesser known pieces in private collections, many of their owners prefering to remain anonymous, since it often appears that the possibilities of theft and tax evoke similar feelings among collectors.--Preface.

Download or read book Marie Adrien Persac written by Marie Adrien Persac and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Adrien Persac (1823-1873) was a French-born Louisiana artist who worked in a range of mediums to produce a unique view of the lower Mississippi Valley at midcentury. In the first catalogued exhibition devoted solely to this multifaceted but overlooked talent, paintings, drawings, maps, and photographs from numerous holdings have been brought together to present fresh insights and reevaluate this artist's place in the annals of American history and material culture. Due in part to his broad talents artist, cartographer, architect, civil engineer, photographer, and art teacher Persac's work is of major importance to Southern history researchers and art historians. His paintings of south Louisiana plantation houses have captured that now-varnished lifestyle in minute detail, approximating the exactitude of architectural drafting. Today this series is invaluable to scholars of the period, as is Persac's painting of a steamboat interior -- the only one known to exist -- and another French Opera House, which burned to the ground in 1919.

Download or read book Dal in the Third Dimension written by Stratton Foundation and published by Allemandi. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an in-depth study of the three-dimensional works of the great Catalan artist Salvador Dalí. It presents the dreams of a collector, Mr Beniamino Levi, who created the Stratton Foundation Collection, the most important of its kind, and depicts one man's quest to bring these works of art to the notice of the public. Mr Levi, President of the Stratton Foundation, met Salvador Dalí for the first time more than forty years ago. As a major collector and gallery owner specialising in Surrealism, he was immediately fascinated by Dalí's sculptural work and realised that this aspect of the artist's oeuvre was not known to the world at large. After a life dedicated to collecting and locating Dalí's works, he has assembled an extraordinary collection of sculptural works that he has toured worldwide, thus doing much to promote awareness of a major aspect of Dalí's creative genius. Today, the Collection is internationally renowned, having been seen by more than ten million people around the world and exhibited in over eighty prestigious museums and locations, including the Espace Dalí in Paris, which houses the only permanent exhibition of Dalí's works in France.
