From rugged Japanese firemen’s ceremonial robes and austere rural workwear to colourful, delicately-patterned cotton kimonos, this lavishly illustrated volume explores Japan’s rich tradition of textiles.

Textiles are an eloquent form of cultural expression and of great importance in the daily life of a people, as well as in their rituals and ceremonies. The traditional clothing and fabrics featured in this book were made and used in the islands of the Japanese archipelago between the late 18th and the mid-20th century. The Thomas Murray collection featured in this book includes daily dress, workwear, and festival garb and follows the Arts and Crafts philosophy of the Mingei Movement, which saw that modernization would leave behind traditional art forms such as the hand-made textiles used by country people, farmers, and fisherman. It presents subtly patterned cotton fabrics, often indigo dyed from the main islands of Honshu and Kyushu, along with garments of the more remote islands: the graphic bark cloth, nettle fiber, and fish skin robes of the aboriginal Ainu in Hokkaido and Sakhalin to the north, and the brilliantly coloured cotton kimonos of Okinawa to the far south. Numerous examples of these fabrics, photographed in exquisite detail, offer insight into Japan’s complex textile history as well as inspiration for today’s designers and artists. This volume explores the range and artistry of the country’s tradition of fiber arts and is an essential resource for anyone captivated by the Japanese aesthetic.

He is a past president of the Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association (ATADA), and served on President Obama's Cultural Property Advisory Committee at the Department of State in Washington, DC.

The definitive book on the use of paint and colour in interior decoration from the 1660s to the 1960s

The definitive book on the use of colour and paint in interior decoration over a three-hundred-year period, The Anatomy of Colour is certain to appeal to both amateur and professional restorers, renovators, enthusiastic decorators and all those with an interest in interior decoration and design.

Drawing on his huge specialist archive, Patrick Baty traces the evolution of pigments and paint colours together with colour systems and standards, and examines their impact on the colour palettes used in interiors from the 1660s to the 1960s. He first charts the creation in paint of the common and expensive colours made from traditional earth pigments between 1650 to 1799. Next, he examines the emergence of colour systems and standards and their influence on paint colours together with the effect of industrialized production on the texture and durability of paints. Finally, Baty turns his attention to 20th-century colour standards, including those developed originally for the purpose of identifying flowers, such as the Répertoire de Couleurs des Fleurs, des Feuillages et des Fruits, each incarnation of the British Colour Standard cards, Walpamur paint swatch cards and Parson’s Tint Book of Historical Colours.

Throughout the book reproductions of interiors highlighting the distinctive colour trends and styles of painting particular to each period and room accompany the in-depth analysis of the history of colour and the development and use of paint colours in interior design.

About the author:

Historian of architectural paint and colour Patrick Baty works as a consultant in the decoration of historic buildings and is proprietor of ‘Papers and Paints’ in London. He has been employed by Dulux and Little Greene to develop ranges of traditional paint colours for English Heritage, and he regularly lectures on the subject of paint and paint colour in 18th- and 19th-century interiors.

The well-judged use of classical details in a new home has an additional significance that cannot be underestimated. It is an expression of an informed personal choice and an aesthetic statement of faith in civilised values and an evocation of the delight in the human senses – light and touch, or the sensation of the warmth of sunlight falling on stone. This is true of all houses featured in this book.

In The Art of Classical Details, classically trained architect, Phillip Dodd, takes a close look at some of the finest examples of neo-Classical architecture around the world. Featuring essays written by a range of skilled contemporary classicists as well as projects by top UK and US Classical architects, the book is the definitive guide to the world of neo-Classical architectural detailing.

About the Author:

A native of Manchester, England, Phillip James Dodd attended the prestigious Prince of Wales' Institute of Architecture in London - where he was taught by many of the architects featured in this book. He received a Degree in Architecture from his hometown university, before moving to America, where he gained a Masters in Architecture from the University of Notre Dame. As a well-regarded expert on classical architecture and interiors, Phillip has worked for some of the most recognized residential architectural firms in America. He is a Fellow Emeritus at the Institute of Classical Architecture (ICA), and Classical America (CA), where from 2006 to 2009 he served as the jury coordinator for the annual Arthur Ross Awards. He has taught classical design at the ICA & CA and at Notre Dame, and has been a guest critic for the Interiors Departments at Parson's School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Унікальний підхід до історії мистецтва через історію кольору та пігментів.

Чи знаєте ви, що ультрамарин, який мерехтить у центрі «Молочниці» Вермеєра, поєднує цей шедевр із зороастрійськими малюнками 6-го століття, знайденими на стінах печерних храмів у Баміані, Афганістан? Або що бурхливі хвилі, які виростають у небезпечній Великій хвилі Хокусая біля Канагави, завдячують своїм поглинаючим синім блиском алхіміку, який народився в замку Франкенштейна в 1673 році? І чи справді прерафаеліти були одержимі темно-коричневим відтінком, отриманим із подрібнених останків стародавніх мумій? (Спойлер: вони були.)

Винайдені доісторичними мешканцями печер і середньовічними фокусниками, хитрими шахраями та кмітливими вченими, кольори мистецтва розповідають власну захоплюючу історію. Понад десять захоплюючих розділів відома письменниця Келлі Гров’єр допомагає яскраво оживити цю історію, розкриваючи дивовижні передісторії пігментів, які визначають найвидатніші твори в історії мистецтва. Між цими розділами переплетена серія сюжетів, присвячених ключовим моментам еволюції теорії кольору – від одкровень епохи Просвітництва до радикалізму Баухаузу – тоді як репродукції ретельно відібраних творів мистецтва допомагають висвітлити повороти оповіді.

Історія кольору — це епічна сага про людську винахідливість і ненаситне бажання. Прочитайте цю книгу, і ви ніколи не дивитеся на твір мистецтва однаково.
