Присвячена творчості одного з найвидатніших дизайнерів ювелірних прикрас 20 століття.

Сюзанна Белперрон була одним із найталановитіших і найвпливовіших дизайнерів ювелірних прикрас 20 століття. Натхненні відкриттям її особистих архівів у 2007 році, автори цієї книги створили перший том, присвячений життю та творчості цього відомого паризького ювеліра. У 1919 році Бельперрон працював модельєром і дизайнером Жермен Буавен. Вона зробила величезний внесок в успіх Maison Rene Boivin, але в 1932 році вирішила покинути компанію. Саме зі своїм колегою Бернардом Герцом, відомим торговцем дорогоцінним камінням і перлами, Белперрон вперше знайшла свободу відмовитися від традиційного дизайну та виробництва ювелірних виробів. Захоплюючись кольоровими каменями, незалежно від їх вартості, вона створювала надзвичайно інноваційні твори, на відміну від стандартних творінь того часу, які були переважно незграбними та оправленими в платину. Її прикраси були настільки оригінальними, що вона ніколи не підписувала свої вироби, натомість наполягаючи на тому, що «мій стиль — це мій підпис». Дійсно, авангардний стиль Бельперрон обожнювався «модниками» її часу.

Її роботи часто з’являлися в Harper's Bazaar і Vogue, а серед її клієнтів були більшість європейських королівських осіб і аристократів, а також банкіри, модельєри, інтелектуали та американські кінозірки. Відомо, що герцог Віндзорський, Ротшильди, Ельза Скіапареллі, Ніна Річчі, Колетт, Малет Стівенс, Ганна Вальска та Гарі Купер часто відвідували паризьку майстерню Бельперрона. Сьогодні Бельперрон часто імітують, і відсутність підпису на її роботах може ускладнити їх ідентифікацію та датування. Тому відкриття її особистих архівів мало величезне значення і зробило цю публікацію важливим довідником для ентузіастів Сюзанни Бельперрон і ювелірних виробів загалом.

Сільві Рауле, випускниця історії, графічний дизайнер і журналіст, співпрацювала з такими журналами, як «Beaux-Arts», «L'Objet d' art», «Harper s Bazaar» і «Vogue». Вона є автором кількох книг: «Bijoux Art Deco» (1984), «Van Cleef & Arpels» (1986, 1997), «Bijoux des annees 1940-1950» (1987), «Salon indien» (1996) і «Cristal de roche» (1999). Рухомий рідкісним ентузіазмом до ювелірних виробів, Олів’є Баруан навчався в Луврі та увійшов у світ професійного мистецтва в 1987 році, коли йому було всього 17 років. У 2001 році він також став спеціалістом із антикварних ювелірних виробів. Зачарований мистецтвом та особистістю Сюзанни Бельперрон, він придбав увесь її особистий архів у 2007 році. Його знання Сюзанни Бельперрон і майже щоденна перевірка її книги замовлень дозволяють йому без двозначності відстежувати її оригінальні роботи, деякі з яких помилково приписували іншим ювелірам, а також виключати вироби, які досі помилково вважалися створеними нею.

Pop art and manga join forces in this long-awaited monograph 

Painter, illustrator, sci-fi writer, and manga artist Aya Takano is one of the main artists of Kaikai Kiki, the artistic production studio created in 2001 by Takashi Murakami. Inspired by all art forms, from erotic stamps of the Edo Period to Impressionism, from Osamu Tezuka to Gustav Klimt, the artist has built a universe all her own. A universe made of infinite worlds, all a means of escaping reality, gravity, and its restraints, to attain a certain form of transcendence.

This book, her first monograph, will explore for the first time all the layers of this multifaceted career.

About the Author:

Aya Takano is a contemporary Japanese artist best known for her involvement with the aesthetics of the Superflat movement and manga art. Takano’s work is recognized for its use of sexually empowering images of women, animals, and often surreal mythology, creating a loose narrative of her artistic persona. Her work is part of a Postmodern tradition in Japan that appropriates popular art forms, using them to represent critical perspectives on Japanese contemporary life. Like Chiho Aoshima and Yoshitomo Nara, Takano’s oeuvre is an example of how artists have developed new modes of expression within Japanese visual culture. Born on December 22, 1976 in Saitama, Japan, she studied at Tama Art University in Tokyo before going to work as an assistant for the artist Takashi Murakami, the founder of the Superflat art movement. Her works are in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, among others. Takano lives and works between Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan.
