Hardcover. 335 p., 155 b/w ill., 210 x 297 mm, Languages: French, English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503549439. Apres avoir longtemps ete mise a la marge des etudes en histoire de l'art, la question de l'ornement fait aujourd'hui l'objet d'un regain d'interet considerable et de profonds renouvellements theoriques et methodologiques. S'inscrivant dans un champ de recherche en plein (re)developpement, le propos de cet ouvrage est de questionner la nature, les fonctions et les usages de l?ornement a un moment particulier de son histoire: les Temps Modernes. Comment l?ornement a-t-il pu etre compris, exploite, legitime, canalise par un discours qui s'est cristallise autour des genres'et de leur hierarchie?? Face a ce discours, comment l?ornement a pu reellement faire sens dans l?histoire des arts et comment l?histoire de l?art comme discipline peut aujourd?hui en rendre compte?? Si la nature de l?ornement reside dans sa transversalite, ou sa capacite a affecter selon des modalites diverses tous les genres artistiques, quels sont les specificites et les roles qu?il tient dans chacun de ces domaines artistiques ? Comment l?ornement a pu faire sens au sein d?un reseau d?acteurs multiples, constitue des artistes et des commanditaires d?une part et des spectateurs d?autre part ? Pour comprendre les jeux et les enjeux qu?il recouvre et les multiples sens qu?il revet au cours de la periode des Temps Modernes, l?ornement est interroge ici a travers une grande diversite de corpus et de methodes?: de l?architecture aux arts decoratifs, de la peinture a la gravure, des sources textuelles au traitement des formes et des matieres, de l?Italie aux Pays-Bas, de la France a l?Angleterre, du Quattrocento au siecle des Lumieres, le phenomene ornemental est aborde a travers des approches multiples et croisees, historiographique et methodologique, historique et theorique, formelle, fonctionnelle et iconologique. 0 g.
