Summary:
Les auteurs dressent le portrait d'une période artistique riche, à la fois héritière d'une tradition de luxe, mais aussi précurseur du design contemporain. 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.

Bien qu’enraciné dans les avant-gardes européennes, l’art concret, qui tend au rationalisme dans la structure, à la rigueur formelle et à la perfection technique, devint avec les années l’incarnation même de l’art et de l’esthétique industrielle suisses. Bien plus qu’un style, il représente un mouvement intellectuel, une quête de formules universelles et de structures éthiquement fondées allant bien au delà des limites des arts plastiques. "Suiza Constructiva" présente la contribution suisse à l’art du 20ème siècle comme interaction de l’art et des domaines appliqués de l’esthétique, plaçant la peinture et la sculpture aux côtés de l’architecture, de la conception graphique, du design et de la photographie, pour révéler un chapitre unique en son genre de l’histoire de la culture sous un jour nouveau.

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.
