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.

Ouvrage collectif, sous la direction de Maurice Culot et Anne-Marie Pirlot. Privés de la commande des meubles de luxe (monopole de la France) et de la grande série (fief de l'Allemagne et de l'Autriche), les décorateurs belges modernistes de l'entre-deux-guerres se sont frayé une voie originale et expérimentale. Le livre évoque leur histoire au coeur d'une période d'intenses changements, marquée par la naissance des contreplaqués qui remédient aux effets dévastateurs du chauffage central sur le mobilier, l'engouement pour le bois malléable, l'apparition des meubles en tubes chromés, du mobilier à combinaisons, de l'éclairage indirect, le renouveau du tissage, du papier peint, des bibelots... C'est une véritable aventure artistique qui se dévoile au cours de ces pages abondamment illustrées, et rédigées par une équipe de spécialistes, à partir des collections exceptionnelles du Centre international pour la ville, l'architecture et le paysage, bientôt abritées par un nouveau musée de Bruxelles : le Kanal-Centre Pompidou.

Now back in print with 37 new full-color plates of formerly black-and-white images, it is certain to be reaffirmed as a classic of design literature. The encyclopedic, lavishly illustrated volume spotlights seminal objects from the period's most significant innovators, including the Eames' iconic chairs; Noguchi's sculptural lamps; Sottsass's early, rebellious furniture; as well as jewelry, ceramics, and textiles by a range of contemporary masters. Historian Paul Johnson's essay provides a sociopolitical context for the works, and noted experts in various design fields offer a wealth of information.

Price:

Summary:
This sumptuously illustrated volume presents over 180 outstanding Viennese silver objects representing the period from Neoclassicism to the Wiener Werkstätte. Comparing early eighteenth-century works with examples of twentieth-century design and architecture, it offers a fascinating look at Vienna's contribution to the development of modern decorative arts. The authors demonstrate how the roots of modern design go back further than is generally assumed. Achieving remarkable clarity and formal reduction, Viennese Biedermeier designers created everyday objects of silver with astonishingly straightforward and purposeful forms that remain as progressive as ever today. In turn-of-the-century Vienna, Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser drew inspiration from the intellectual legacy of the period in their designs for the Wiener Werkstätte. Many of the ideas introduced by the Viennese avant-garde were later expressed in such movements as the Bauhaus and De Stijl. By examining this history in all its complexity, the book traces the development of the vocabulary for contemporary design.
