The History of Decorative Artsby Alain Gruber
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:The first volume in a three-volume set devoted to the history of
decorative arts from the 15th to the early 20th century. It is a
massive, beautifully produced work, translated from the original
French edition (1993, Editio-Editions Citadelles & Mazenod, Paris),
and covering the period from about 1480 to 1630. Each chapter focuses
on one of the major ornamental motifs of the era--interlace,
rinceaux, grotesques, Moorish tracery, and strapwork--and explores
the applications of that motif in various countries and in all
artistic genres, including architecture, painting, sculpture,
tapestry, embroidery, bookbinding, ceramics, and metalwork. Of the
800 illustrations, 500 are in color. 10x12.5"
