KOPF, SILAS. A marquetry odyssey: historical objects and personal work. Manchester, Vt: Hudson Hills Press, 2008, stated First Edition, xv, 220pp., . "Renowned for over thirty years as a master of marquetry, the art and craft of creating "pictures in wood," Silas Kopf takes us on a fascinating journey into its history and recounts his personal evolution as a craftsman." "He offers us an accessible and thorough account of the practice of marquetry, ranging from ancient Egypt to the present. He lingers over the extraordinary objects produced during the Italian Renaissance and by the great French cabinetmakers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Examples of marquetry from Germany, England, Holland, Austria, and America are examined in depth."

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: A Marquetry Odyssey. Historical Objects and Personal Work by Silas Kopf Summary: A combined cabinet-maker's monograph and history of marquetry. This volume offers an approachable introduction to the art of marquetry through t…he writings and work of scholar and artisan, Silas Kopf. This richly illustrated presentation of the art of marquetry is placed in context by one of its most ardent and talented proponents: Silas Kopf. A distinguished cabinetmaker for more than thirty years, Kopf identifies the origins and influences of numerous decorative arts and architectural movements that have impacted his own work, from objects created in ancient Egypt, and during the Italian Renaissance to inspiration he has drawn from seventeenth century British and Dutch furniture makers in addition to the work of Art Nouveau artists like Louis Majorelle. Kopf is a lifelong observer of objects of marquetry starting with his apprenticeship with artist Wendell Castle and later as a student of the Ecole Boulle in Paris where he learned the traditional art of marquetry and absorbed the work he saw in the museum collections. All of these influences are present in this piece-by-piece narration of Kopf's own development as an artisan, designer and scholar. Author: Silas Kopf Publisher: Hudson Hills Press.
