Description
Creation in France. Decorative Arts - 1945-1965 - The post-war period in France was particularly prolific in the field of decorative arts. A long process of research, object identification and archival examination preceded the writing of this book. Designers and publishers of furniture, decorators, ceramists, goldsmiths, lighting fixtures, fabrics, carpets and wallpapers: over 350 alphabetically-organized entries present a vast panorama of creation in this field in France between 1945 and 1965. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs of the objects and advertisements published in decorating magazines of the period. The authors examine the work of such emblematic designers as Pol Chambost, Madeleine Castaing and Mathieu Matégot, as well as lesser-known artists and publishers whose creations nevertheless left their mark on the period. - Gourcuff Gradenigo - 2009
