Résumé:
The Pattern and Decoration movement emerged in the 1970s as an embrace of long-dismissed art forms associated with the decorative. Pioneering artists such as Miriam Schapiro, Joyce Kozloff, Robert Kushner, and others appropriated patterns, frequently from non-Western decorative arts, to produce intricate, often dizzying or gaudy designs in media ranging from painting, sculpture, and collage to ceramics, installation art, and performance. This book showcases works by more than 40 artists from across the United States, examining the movement’s defiant adoption of art forms traditionally viewed as feminine, craft-based, or otherwise inferior to fine art.

It details their life stories and their visionary designs, which remain as relevant and contemporary as ever, and brings to light new aspects of the history of Viennese furniture design.

Résumé:
Du nord au sud du Portugal, les édifices resplendissent grâce aux reflets des azulejos. Ces carreaux de faïence polychromes, initialement à dominante bleue, sont l’élément constant de l’architecture portugaise depuis plusieurs siècles. Médaillons religieux au-dessus des linteaux, frises encadrant portes et fenêtres, lambris tapissant de longs murs, habillage de façades entières, ils brillent de leur présence à chaque coin de rue et nul ne peut échapper à leur pouvoir de fascination. Lointains descendants des céramiques perses, les premiers azulejos hispano-mauresques connus datent du xve siècle. Depuis cinq siècles, les azulejos sont le miroir du Portugal. Si sur eux ont glissé le soleil, la pluie et les jours, ils ont fixé, au fil de l’histoire du pays, l’esprit et le goût de toute une nation, au point d’en devenir un des symboles les plus reconnaissables. Passant par plusieurs périodes, dont celle de la fin du xviie siècle où les azulejos sont exclusivement peints en bleu cobalt, au xixe siècle ils connaissent une production industrielle et inventive qui accompagnera le revêtement total en azulejos à patron des murs extérieurs des édifices. Cette mode – et choix aussi lié à l’humidité – est très présente au nord du Portugal et notamment à Porto. Belle ville, Porto offre au passant un choix surprenant de styles. Les lambris d’azulejos suivent les grands courants stylistiques : romantisme, purement hygiénique, Art nouveau, Art déco, estampage géométrique, abstrait, publicitaire, etc. Ce livre propose un aperçu de ces fresques et façades curieuses et uniques que le visiteur pourra découvrir au gré de ses promenades, et précise leur localisation dans la ville. Un livre témoin, découverte ou souvenir de cet art de l’azulejo dans lequel Porto excelle.
