Ce livre – presque sans texte – décrit dans tous ses détails l’art de la moulure depuis l’époque romane jusqu’au style Louis XVI. C’est l’ouvrage le plus fouillé sur le sujet, orné de plus de 150 planches, réédition d’un livre de 1899.

Alors que les amateurs éclairés et les artisans savent bien reconnaître les principaux styles, la plupart sont prompts à mélanger les moulurations et à orner un meuble Louis XIII d’un profil Louis XVI. Le livre de Léon Jamin (auteur des 3 tomes composant le célèbre « Enseignement professionnel du menuisier ») permet de ne plus commettre de tels barbarismes.

Le propos est articulé par périodes qui suivent les styles de l’histoire de l’art. Chaque chapitre est précédé d’une courte introduction décrivant en quelques mots l’esprit de chaque époque concernant le style et la mouluration. Suivent de superbes planches gravées avec une extrême précision, représentant les moulures, parfois dans leur contexte, vues en élévation et en coupe.

Les sources de l’auteur sont principalement des ouvrages de menuiserie, mais la mouluration décrite peut aussi être utilisée pour le meuble et la taille de la pierre.

Ce livre sans texte est constitué de 103 planches présentant plus de 2000 dessins, relevés par l’architecte d’ameublement parisien Édouard Bajot. Il s’agit d’une reproduction en fac-similé d’un ouvrage de la fin du XIXe siècle.

Principalement axé sur les motifs ornementaux (profils de moulures et tournages mais aussi sculptures décoratives, formes et
bas-reliefs), il témoigne de l’évolution artistique et ornementale depuis l’époque gothique jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle. Si la France est la principale source iconographique, l’Angleterre, l’Allemagne et l’Italie ne sont pas oubliées.

Les plus belles et les plus caractéristiques réalisations d’architecture, de sculpture et d’ébénisterie d’art ont servi de modèles à
l’auteur qui nous présente six siècles de motifs ornementaux et décoratifs, permettant ainsi d’acquérir une large connaissance des formes décoratives en architecture, en sculpture et dans le mobilier.

This book charts the history of muslin from India to Europe to America, illustrated by some of the finest examples from the V&A’s relatively unexplored collection of more than 900 objects, including men’s and women’s dress, dolls, and ballet costumes. Muslin has been used for everything from gowns for Mughal princes and delicate dresses to the humble baby’s diaper. Many Asian examples are dyed vivid colors and embellished with embroidery, gold, silver, spangles, and even propaganda, while in the West muslin was adapted to changing fashions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and has been used by designers such as Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano.

Documentation of the renaissance of Classic Modernism in contemporary graphic design.

Naïve documents the extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design. This compilation introduces a new wave of young designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. Inspired by 20th Century American legends such as Saul Bass, Charley Harper and Alexander Girard, the burgeoning designers and their work showcased this in this book are inspiring, ranging from illustrations, poster art, editorials, book covers and record sleeves to stationary and textiles.

"The naive is a childlikeness, where it is no longer expected." Friedrich von Schiller

A minimalist design vocabulary is currently being reinvented by a troop of young graphic designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. Naïve documents this extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design.

Inspired by 20th Century American legends such as Saul Bass, the undisputed master of film title design and iconic logos as well as modernist graphic artist Charley Harper and textile designer Alexander Girard, these burgeoning designers are creating new and striking imagery using palettes of earthy and pastel shades, reduced strokes, patterns and shapes with a strong folkloristic element.

Naïve illustrates this new development in graphic design, assembling a multitude of vivid and inspiring examples ranging from illustrations, poster art, editorials, book covers and record sleeves to stationary and textiles.

A sumptuously illustrated and richly detailed catalogue of enormous appeal to anyone interested in fashion, lifestyle, the history of costume and applied arts Thanks to a prestigious private collection, this book explains how from this moment on the clothing of men, women and children acquired a social, cultural and economic importance it had never had before in the history of the Western world and in what terms, from the Napoleonic era onwards, we may rightly talk about Fashion in the sense as we understand it today. From 1800 onwards dress evolved year after year reflecting historical and political events, industrial advances and technical development, influences of the arts and culture, and the taste of the rich and powerful.

The two-time winner of the Best Designer of the Year Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and hailed as the king of minimalism, Narciso Rodriguez is poised to take his place in the pantheon of great American designers. As Anna Wintour put it, "No one but Narciso has ever made a simple line look more stunning." Like the famously copied wedding dress he made for Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Rodriguez’s designs are revered for their exquisite tailoring but also for being wearable. His exceptionally varied and loyal following - from Salma Hayek and Sarah Jessica Parker, to Oprah Winfrey and the late Celia Cruz - is a testament to his success.

This elegant volume reveals the artist at work in his atelier. Rodriguez takes his inspiration from the life that surrounds him - whether it’s the subtle color of faded paint on a façade, a pattern made by the sand, or the gesture of a young man on a skateboard - and records it in sketchbooks and vivid snapshots. Always experimenting with new textiles and textures, he creates deceptively simple montages - artworks in their own right - that gracefully yield the stunning dresses we see flowing down the runway.
