Includes bibliographical references (page 163).This volume and the exhibition it accompanies bring together eighty of the finest masterpieces in the collection of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon. All of the works of art are richly illustrated in color and described in authoritative texts by the curators of the Gulbenkian Museum. These magnificent pieces, which reflect the renowned art collector Calouste Gulbenkian's eclectic taste, include paintings by Rubens, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Turner, and Manet; silver from services created for the nobility of Russia and Western Europe; Roman medallions; Ottoman ceramics; Japanese lacquer ware; jewelry by Lalique; and books and textiles from both East and West. These works of art offer dazzling testimony to Gulbenkian's devotion to the quality of the individual object and to his refined connoisseurship. The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum was created under the terms of Gulbenkian's will in order to preserve under one roof the artworks in his collection--one of the preeminent art assemblages of the first half of the twentieth century. Gulbenkian, a successful businessman who was born in 1869 in Ottoman Turkey to an Armenian family, made his fortune in the oil industry. In April 1942, in the midst of World War II, he arrived in Lisbon seeking a peaceful place to live. Portugal had remained neutral in the conflict that was engulfing the world. Gulbenkian spent the rest of his life in Lisbon, where he died in 1955. As a collector--whether of ancient Egyptian art, Islamic art, or European painting and decorative arts--Gulbenkian acquired "only the best."

Includes bibliographical references (pages 314-323) and index."Ancient Mesoamerican artists held a cosmic responsibility. As they used color to adorn buildings, clay vessels, textiles, bark-paper pages, sculptures, textiles, wall murals, mosaics and other items, they quite literally made the world. The power of color emerged from the materiality of its pigments and the communities whose knowledge of the natural world imbued it with meaning. Histories of colonialism and industrialization in the "color-averse" West have minimized the profound significance of color in the Indigenous Americas. We Live in Painting provides an in-depth exploration of the science and art of color in Mesoamerica. This lavishly illustrated catalog, published as part of the PST ART series, follows two interconnected lines of inquiry--technical and material analyses, and Indigenous conceptions of art and image--to reach the full richness of color at the core of historical and contemporary Mesoamerican worldviews." --"Exhibition itinerary: Los Angeles County Museum of Art: September 15, 2024-September 2, 2025; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art: November 8, 2025-February 8, 2026"--Colophon.

In the vanguard : Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, 1950-1969 / by Greenwold, Diana,editor,contributor.(CARDINAL)785462; Arauz, Rachael,editor,contributor.(CARDINAL)785461; Duarte, Steffi Ibis,contributor.(CARDINAL)785460; Spiller, Shea,contributor.; Cranbrook Art Museum,host institution.(CARDINAL)267764; Portland Museum of Art,host institution.(CARDINAL)141988;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 170-186) and index."In the Vanguard: Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, 1950-1969 traces the first two decades of the Haystack Mountain School of Craft's history and its pivotal imprint on the world of art and craft practice in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. The first scholarly investigation of this internationally renowned school, the exhibition, and the accompanying catalogue will feature work made at Haystack or influenced by time spent there by some of the most highly recognized names in the fields of fiber, glass, ceramics, jewelry, and graphic arts to demonstrate the school's significant role in debates about art, craft, industry, and pedagogy in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. Haystack's model of brief summer sessions and changing instructors offered new ways of thinking about the status of craft as art and the nature of accessible design in the context of communally based, process-oriented learning. Anni Albers, Toshiko Takaezu, Jack Lenor Larsen, Kay Sekimachi, Arline Fisch, Robert Arneson, Harvey Littleton, Wolf Kahn, and Dale Chihuly are just a few of the artists who taught at the school between 1950 and 1969 and who helped define Haystack's radically open-ended approach towards art and craft. With approximately eighty objects assembled from public and private collections and archives, many rarely or never before exhibited in a museum, In the Vanguard will establish the substantial legacy of this remote community of makers in the art and education world at large. Archival material installed throughout the exhibition will include original correspondence, photographs, brochures, architectural models, posters, and early ephemera"--Provided by publisher.

A few of these craftsmen found employment at the notable Trenton, N.J.-based ceramics firm, Ott and Brewer, who in the 1880s created their own version of the popular Belleek porcelain. The widespread success of Belleek, which had originated at David McBirney's factory in Northern Ireland in the mid-19th century, inspired numerous American imitations, praised for its exquisite hue by the press"--

Miller's arts & crafts : living with the arts & crafts style / by Miller, Judith,1951-2023,author.(CARDINAL)173962;
The origins of arts and crafts -- Furniture -- Ceramics -- Silver, metalware and jewellery -- Miscellaneous.Arts & Crafts is one of the most influential design movements of all time, beginning in the late 19th century and still being explored by designers today. The Arts & Crafts ethos - rejecting mass production and industrialization in favour of individualism, simplicity, honest craftsmanship, respect for materials and good design - had a massive impact on the design of the early 20th century and transformed design sensibilities globally. This invaluable guide covers furniture, ceramics, silver and metalware, glass, textiles, jewellery, books and posters, and includes fascinating profiles of key designers such as William Morris, the Stickleys, Liberty & Co, Tiffany Studios, George Ohr, Rookwood and many more. It comes with a pictorial design directory, price ranges and a wealth of essential information for collectors and anyone wishing to follow William Morris's golden rule of Arts & Crafts: 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.'

Wa : the essence of Japanese design / by Menegazzo, Rossella,author.(CARDINAL)556450; Piotti, Stefania,author.(CARDINAL)592746;
Includes bibliographical references (page 283) and index.Reinventing tradition : from craft to design / Rossella Menegazzo -- The origins of Japanese design / Kenya Hara -- Wood, bamboo, lacquer -- Metal -- Ceramics, glass, stone -- Paper -- Fibres, fabrics -- New materials.Through some 300 objects this book explores contemporary Japanese design: from everyday objects and packaging to interior design and lighting elements. Ultimately the book aims to explore the way in which Japanese design manages to harness its materials--whether natural or synthetic--and at the same time combine respect for tradition with forward thinking and experimentation. The objects featured were chosen because of their strong Japanese character and the influence this 'Japaneseness' has had on Western culture. Rather than following a chronological order or concentrating on the designers, this book focuses on the objects and is categorized by material, highlighting the strong link between design and material in Japan.
