Book excerpt: Chinoiserie - Art in the Oriental style In Europe back in the 17th and 18th centuries, an overwhelming fascination with China-and in particular, Chinese porcelain developed among tastemakers, which fueled an immense demand for East Asian goods, particularly within the realm of the decorative arts. European manufacturers took advantage of this craze by beginning to produce designs in imitation of the Chinese hence the creation of Chinoiserie. Goods ranged from furniture to textiles to fine art and featured Chinese materials (or imitations of them) such as porcelain and lacquer, plus Chinese motifs like pagodas, dragons, and flora as imagined through the highly fantastical Western lens. Chinoiserie is an entirely European invention. Chinoiserie is interesting, with little scenes telling a story, it has movement and depth, it can be colorful and really engage your eye.

Download or read book Chinoiserie written by Richard Hayman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinoiserie, a decorative style inspired by the art of the Far East, gripped Britain from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. Despite taking its name from the French word for 'Chinese', the style also incorporated influences from other Asian countries, helping to shape the period's popular fantasy of the 'exotic Orient'. Wealthy consumers jostled to obtain imported wallpaper, lacquered cabinets and hand-painted porcelain, while domestic manufacturers such as Royal Worcester and Chippendale met demand with mass-produced items of their own. Though interest in the style waned as the Gothic Revival took hold, many examples of Chinoiserie have been preserved. In this beautifully illustrated book, Richard Hayman tells the story of this fascinating phenomenon, and explores the profound impact of Chinoiserie on the material culture of the West.

Download or read book Chinoiserie written by Francesco Morena and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The taste for chinoiserie, which originated and developed in the West during the 17th century, reinterpreted the themes, ornamentation and decorative techniques of the Far East and China. This volume is the first published on Italian Chinoiserie, a style developed slightly later in Italy than at other European courts, but which flourished rapidly and spectacularly during the 18th century when a passion for the Orient heavily influenced the rococo style. Throughout the peninsula many of the Italian courts - from the Bourbons in Sicily and Campania to the Savoys in Piedmont, from the Veneto to papal Rome and including Florence and the Medici, later Lorraine, Grand Duchy - indulged their enthusiasm for chinoiseries creating some intriguing works of art. No field was left untouched and the author of this volume has taken pains to cover them all: from architecture (the Chinese Palace at Palermo) to interior decorative painting (the rooms frescoed by Tiepolo in Vicenza and the 'Chinese' rooms of Naples and Palermo), from ceramics and porcelain (the Capodimonte Porcelain Room) to cabinet making (Venetian lacquered furniture in particular, but also the Lacquer Room in Turin), to fabrics and all other decorative arts.

Book excerpt: Chinese interior design is a kaleidoscope of competing influences: scholarly gardens versus opium dens, imperial palaces standing side-by-side with concrete-and-steel high rises, and rural simplicity contrasting urban chaos. "China Style" looks at interiors that draw from this vivid and powerful tradition. It includes examples of Shanghai Art Deco and the unique Peranakan shop house, as well as modern clubs sumptuously furnished with glittering fabrics and Chinese design motifs, minimalistic glass houses, and restaurants with a cultural-revolution flair. Photographed in locations as diverse as Shanghai, New York, Hong Kong, and Minneapolis, "China Style" shows how Chinese tradition is constantly being reinterpreted to produce a fresh and dynamic style of contemporary design.
