About the Item

Year of publication 2013, Number of pages 269, Format 25 x 28 cm. Photos 250 including colors. Binding Hardcover under illustrated dust jacket French language. Very young, Gaston Suisse went regularly to the Jardin des Plantes, observing the animals for a long time to make sketches of them. At the age of 15, it was at the Jardin des Plantes that he met Paul Jouve, an already famous and established artist. Immediately the love of animals, observation and drawing brought them together and marked the beginning of a long friendship. Accepted in the contest of the Superior School of Decorative Arts, he will learn the rudiments of the job of lacquerer. Immediately fascinated by the material, he never stopped learning, documenting and experimenting. His work, extremely original and personal, is that of a highly cultured man, passionate about research and new experiences. Gaston Suisse naturally takes his place among that of the greatest artists of the 20th century and in the movement of the 1930s. His works are now highly sought after and internationally recognized on the art market. This book is the first monograph of the work of this exceptional designer and lacquerer.

“The Paris Salons”, 1895-1914 Furniture ‘Book’
Located in Montelabbate, PU
This is the third in a multi-volume collection providing a visual catalogue record of the decorative arts of the Paris Salons. Included in this volume are reproductions of the catalogue illustrations of furniture at the Exposition Universelle of 1900, the annual Salons du Mobilier, and the celebrated 1903 and 1904 expositions of the Ecole de Nancy in the French capital. This chronological record clearly shows the revolution in furniture design that transpired in France at the turn of the century. The illustrations trace precisely the emergence of the art nouveau style in the 1890s, its high point between the 1900 Exposition Universelle and the 1903 Salons, its demise between 1905-1909, the return to period revivalism and the transitional art nouveau - art deco style of 1910-1912 with the proto - art deco style of the immediate pre-war years (1911-1914). Many examples of non-art nouveau works from the period are also included. Hundreds of these contemporary illustrations...
