En 1926, le jeune Ernst Kris, élève de Julius von Schlosser, entreprend de revisiter, de renverser ce concept : il place au coeur du maniérisme les notions de naturalisme et d'investigation scientifique. Ce texte pionnier de Kris, qui n'était disponible dans aucune langue depuis trois quart de siècle, est suivi d'un essai de Patricia Falguières qui met en perspective le matérialisme krisien en introduisant la notion d'itérabilité.

S'inscrivant une dernière fois dans la recherche de l'" œuvre d'art totale ", il la réalise de façon exemplaire avec le palais Stoclet de Bruxelles qui reste la création collective majeure de l'Art Nouveau international. L'équipe dirigée par Josef Hoffmann et Kolo Moser ne délaissera aucun domaine de la création : outre des meubles, services de table, objets en métal, céramique et verre, livres, affiches et cartes postales, tapis, papiers à lettre et de bureau, ils dessineront aussi des bijoux, des tissus et des modèles de Haute Couture (le secteur le plus rentable). Avec plus de 500 photos, cet ouvrage illustre parfaitement la production de principaux collaborateurs du Wiener Werkstätte, parmi lesquels Carl Otto Czeschka, Berthold Löffler, Michael Powolny, Vally Wieselthier, Eduard Josef Wimmer, Otto Lendecke, mais aussi Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele et Oskar Kokoschka.

Allaert to an assortment of radical industrial and decorative objects by the contemporary Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. The museum's special pride is its Art Nouveau collection, which features work by prominent Belgians like Henry van de Velde, Victor Horta and Paul Hanker alongside foreign designers like Josef Hoffman and Otto Wagner of the Wiener Secession. Works by Modernists like Le Corbusier and Gaston Eysselinck are seen in context with Postmodern pieces by Allessandro Mendini, Aldo Rossi, Hans Hollein and Andrea Branzi. And Minimalist works by Maarten Van Severen are juxtaposed with more sculptural pieces by Pieter De Bruyne and Emiel Veranneman and works by outsiders like Borek Sipek and Ron Arad.

Summary:
This broad selection of Swiss architecture, graphic design, and design from 1950 to 2006 demonstrates that in this context, playful humor and clarity are by no means opposites, but a highly unusual duo of qualities that mingle and interpenetrate. The question addressed by this publication is : are these examples from three professions, various regions and languages, and a period of more than fifty years bound together by a common denominator? No parade of luxury items, but talents and ideas finding material expression and clients with the courage to embrace new "inventions", presented with examples from architecture, graphic design, and design : movie theaters, swimming pools, pedestrian bridges, gas stations, posters, journals, record and CD covers, books, web design, furniture, and the legendary TEE train (Trans-Europe Express). This publication is accompanied by an exhibition at the Kornhausforum in Bern, which then goes on to additional locations throughout the world.

Ils nous font découvrir les défis, les innovations et les modes de cette époque. Sous l'égide de commanditaires comme Jean Zay, Michelle et Vincent Auriol, ils nous permettent d'accéder à une série de lieux incontournables des ambassades aux palais présidentiels. De 1930 à la fin des années 1950, la majeure partie des décorateurs qui feront l’histoire de ces trois décennies du XXe siècle est appelée à collaborer avec le Mobilier national : André Arbus, Jules Leleu, Jean Pascaud, Étienne-Henri Martin, Marc du Plantier, Gilbert Poillerat ou Raphaël Raffel. La figure du décorateur joue alors un rôle capital. Véritable ensemblier, il conçoit la décoration comme un tout harmonieux et orchestre les métiers d’arts au service d’un projet global. L’art du raffinement s’appuie alors tant sur la préciosité des matériaux (parchemin, bronze doré, cristal, laque, etc.) que sur la recherche de la ligne, jusqu’à l’épure du design. Le Mobilier national présente cette importante rétrospective en puisant dans sa collection exceptionnelle et présente des pièces uniques, d'une qualité et d'une diversité remarquables.

Summary:
Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, ''Woven histories'' offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts. ''Woven histories'' begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse.

Summary:
This volume gathers an exceptional selection of decorative folding screens, exploring the history and semantics of the form by tracing trajectories of cross-pollination between East and West. At their core, folding screens embody liminality and the idea of sitting at the threshold of two conditions, both literally and metaphorically. They cross barriers between different spaces, disciplines, cultures and worlds. Taking that notion as a starting place, this volume follows processes of hybridization between different art forms and functions, collaborative relationships between designers and artists, and the emergence of newly created works. This gorgeous catalog features more than 70 examples of folding screens, including valuable historical objects and more recent works from international museums and private collections, plus a selection of new creations commissioned from more than 15 international artists specifically for this project.
