Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aubusson, Tapisseries des Lumières. Splendeurs de la Manufacture Royale, fournisseur de l’Europe du XVIIIème siècle" donne à voir le rayonnement européen des productions textiles aubussonnaises et leur inscription dans l’histoire des arts décoratifs. Le XVIIIe siècle a marqué l’apogée des arts décoratifs, magnifiés dans une recherche toujours plus grande de raffinement. L’exposition "Tapisseries des Lumières" cherche à apporter un éclairage sur la place occupée par un art décoratif majeur : la tapisserie d’Aubusson. Souvent considéré à tort comme une périphérie dont le centre serait Paris, Aubusson est ici redéfini comme un centre de création ayant apporté une contribution propre à l’histoire des arts décoratifs. Cet apport aux arts décoratifs doit beaucoup aux lissiers aubussonnais. L’originalité de leur écriture technique a contribué à organiser un monde de fabricants, marchands et clients dans toute l’Europe, soulignant le caractère d’art textile de la tapisserie, à l’inverse du statut de copie de peinture qui lui est couramment attribué. C’est là sans doute l’une des explications de l’extraordinaire diffusion, à travers l’Europe du XVIIIe siècle, de la production aubussonnaise. Il s’agit de réattribuer à Aubusson des tissages fins, trop longtemps considérés comme des oeuvres issues des manufactures de Beauvais ou de Bruxelles.
Book Synopsis Woven Gold by : Charissa Bremer-David
Download or read book Woven Gold written by Charissa Bremer-David and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meticulously woven by hand with wool, silk, and gilt-metal thread, the tapestry collection of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, represents the highest achievements of the art form. Intended to enhance the king’s reputation by visualizing his manifest glory and to promote the kingdom’s nascent mercantile economy, the royal collection of tapestries included antique and contemporary sets that followed the designs of the greatest artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including Raphael, Giulio Romano, Rubens, Vouet, and Le Brun. Ranging in date from about 1540 to 1715 and coming from weaving workshops across northern Europe, these remarkable works portray scenes from the bible, history, and mythology. As treasured textiles, the works were traditionally displayed in the royal palaces when the court was in residence and in public on special occasions and feast days. They are still little known, even in France, as they are mostly reserved for the decoration of elite state residences and ministerial offices. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of fourteen marvelous examples of the former royal collection that will be displayed exclusively at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from December 15, 2015, to May 1, 2016. Lavishly illustrated, the volume presents for the first time in English the latest scholarship of the foremost authorities working in the field.
Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Enlightenment by : Carole P. Biggam
Download or read book A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Enlightenment written by Carole P. Biggam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Enlightenment covers the period 1650 to 1800. From the Baroque to the Neo-classical, color transformed art, architecture, ceramics, jewelry, and glass. Newton, using a prism, demonstrated the seven separate hues, which encouraged the development of color wheels and tables, and the increased standardization of color names. Technological advances in color printing resulted in superb maps and anatomical and botanical images. Identity and wealth were signalled with color, in uniforms, flags, and fashion. And the growth of empires, trade, and slavery encouraged new ideas about color. Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture and interiors; and artefacts. Carole P. Biggam is Honorary Senior Research Fellow in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Glasgow, UK. Kirsten Wolf is Professor of Old Norse and Scandinavian Linguistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Volume 4 in the Cultural History of Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf

Book Synopsis The Mobile Image from Watteau to Boucher by : David Pullins
Download or read book The Mobile Image from Watteau to Boucher written by David Pullins and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reframing long-held assumptions about what distinguishes fine from decorative art, this innovative study explores a mode of making, seeing, and thinking that slices across eighteenth-century visual culture. This book provides a new way of thinking about eighteenth-century French art and visual culture by prioritizing production over reception. Abandoning the ideologically driven discourse that distinguished fine from decorative art between the 1690s and 1770s, The Mobile Image reveals how the two have been inextricably bound from the earliest stages of artistic instruction through the daily life of painters’ workshops. In this study, author David Pullins defines artisanal and artistic means of learning, seeing, and making through a system of “mobile images”: motifs that were effectively engineered for mobility and designed never to be definitive, always awaiting replication and circulation. He examines the careers of Antoine Watteau, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, and François Boucher, situating them against a much broader cast of actors—such as printmakers, publishers, anonymous studio assistants, and architects, among others—to place eighteenth-century painting within a wider context of media and making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Art of the Defeat offers an unflinching look at the pivotal role art played in France during the German occupation. It begins with Adolf Hitler's staging of the armistice at Rethondes and moves across the dark years - analyzing the official junket by French artists to Germany, the exhibition of Arno Breker's colossi in Paris, the looting of the state museums and Jewish collections, the glorification of Philippe P?tain and a pure national identity, the demonization of modernists and foreigners, and the range of responses by artists and artisans. The sum is a pioneering expos? of the deployment of art and ideology to hold the heart of darkness at bay"--Page 4 of cover.
