Book Twentieth century Jewelry

Download or read book Twentieth century Jewelry written by Lodovica Rizzoli Eleuteri and published by Abbeville Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectacularly beautiful, this authoritative book presents jewelry designs of this century. With almost two hundred full-color photographs specially commissioned for this book and archival pictures of pieces that have disappeared into private collections, the volume features the finest artworks in precious metals and jewels from collections around the world, including creations by Lalique, Cartier, Boucheron, Bulgari, Tiffany, and David Webb. The fascinating text surveys the glittering world of gems with an illustrated introductory essay investigating the development of jewelry design at the end of the 1800s, and the shift from Victorian and Art Nouveau works to pieces stamped with the personality and vision of a single designer. The next chapter thoroughly examines the successive revolutions in style of the twentieth century. The balance of the book is a cornucopia of photographs portraying pieces from the beginning of the century through the 1960s: the grand era of commissions and patrons. Here you will find the Duchess of Windsor's famous necklace of diamonds and rubies as well as a fabulous pin in the shape of a World War II tank, and a veritable menagerie of diamond-studded elephants, enameled tigers, and jade dragons. This thorough history is a dazzling jewelbox of a book.

Book Bijoux art nouveau

Download or read book Bijoux art nouveau written by Vivienne Becker and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C’est dans le domaine de la joaillerie que l’Art Nouveau a trouvé son expression la plus vive. A la fin du XIXe siècle, un regain d’intérêt pour les arts décoratifs attira sur les bijoux l’attention d’artistes séduits par leurs multiples possibilités esthétiques. La nature extrêmement décorative et souvent opulente du style Art Nouveau se prêtait en effet magnifiquement à la parure de la beauté féminine. Les artistes et orfèvres qui créèrent les bijoux Art Nouveau avaient été formés aux méthodes du XIXe siècle et leur parfaite maîtrise technique leur permit d’expérimenter de nouveaux matériaux tout en laissant libre cours à leur imagination. Ce mélange inédit de savoir-faire technique et d’inspiration Art Nouveau produisit quelques-uns des bijoux les plus inventifs de ce siècle. Dans cet ouvrage somptueusement illustré, Vivienne Becker présente un vaste panorama international des bijoux Art Nouveau. Elle étudie les principaux joailliers français, dont René Lalique fut le plus célèbre, pour ensuite montrer comment ce style s’étendit à travers toute l’Europe et les Etats-Unis. C’est un ouvrage de référence complet, rigoureux et très agréable à consulter, s’adressant aussi bien aux collectionneurs qu’à tous les amateurs de bijoux.

  • Author : Etienne Martin
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2015-12-02
  • ISBN : 9782371640535
  • Pages : 176 pages

Download or read book Bijoux Art Nouveau written by Etienne Martin and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le malheur des uns fait le bonheur des autres, et Nancy en sait quelque chose ! En cette fin de XIXe siècle, la ville observe impuissante l'annexion de l'Alsace-Moselle dont elle sera cependant la plus grande bénéficiaire. Car, le repli des activités de Strasbourg et de Metz se soldera par l'arrivée massive de réfugiés riches et instruits dans la capitale ducale, et provoquera une concentration nouvelle d'artisans-artistes qui explique en grande partie l'éclosion de l'Ecole de Nancy. Les arts connaissent alors un renouveau important, et la bijouterie fut une des expressions les plus créatrices du style Art Nouveau, tant elle offre un nombre incalculable de formes et de motifs. Bijoux "lorrains" lotharingiens, serait-on tenté de dire avec ses croix de Lorraine, ses alérions et ses chardons, témoins d'un patriotisme ambiant ; bijoux floraux d'après nature et bijoux "modernes"... C'est tout ce foisonnement intellectuel et artistique que nous propose de découvrir Etienne Martin. Cet ouvrage, rigoureux et complet, unique aussi, dévoile des centaines de pièces de référence sur la bijouterie de cette époque. Entre ceux qui font du bijou et ceux qui font de l'art, de Prouvé à Daubrée, de Cayette à Bossert et tant d'autres, le livre est un voyage dans les existences de ces artisans-artistes aux doigts d'"orfèvres" et permet d'admirer leurs merveilleuses réalisations.

Book Imperishable Beauty

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.
