Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Conceived as a sequel to the critically acclaimed 'Tapestry in the Renaissance: Art and Magnificence (2002),' this lavishly illustrated volume is the first comprehensive survey of 17th-century European tapestry available in English. From the Middle Ages until the late 18th century, European courts expended vast sums on tapestries, which were made with precious materials after designs by the leading artists of the day. Yet, this spectacular medium is still often presented as a decorative art of lesser importance. 'Tapestry in the Baroque' challenges this notion, demonstrating that tapestry remained among the most prestigious figurative mediums throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries, prized by the rich for its artistry and as a propaganda tool.The book features forty-five of the finest surviving examples from collections in more than fifteen countries, as well as a number of related designs and oil sketches. Through these it examines the stylistic developments of tapestry between 1590 and 1720, when such masters as Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, Simon Vouet, Charles Le Brun, Pietro da Cortona, and Giovanni Romanelli responded to the challenges and opportunities of the medium in the context of contemporary artistic developments.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. In the annals of fashion history, French couturier Paul Poiret (1879-1944) is known for liberating women from corsets and introducing pantaloons into their wardrobes. However, it is Poiret's remarkable innovations in the cut and construction of clothing, made all the more remarkable by the fact that he could not sew, that secures his legacy.This essential book is the first to explore Poiret's radical modernity from a number of perspectives. Essays by renowned scholars describe the historical context of his work; its relation to the dominant artistic discourses of the early 20th century; his muse, Denise Poiret, and her influence on his work; and his role in the paradigmatic shift to a new ideal of feminine beauty. Poiret's entrepreneurship, his creation of an atelier to extend his influence beyond fashion to the''art de vivre, and his relationship to the workshops of the Wiener Werkstatte are also discussed.Poiret's innovative creations are represented by colorful pochoirs (stencils), personal photographs from the Poiret family archives, and newly commissioned photographs of Poiret's masterworks. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.

About the book >.>.> Talbot's wonder at what he had observed is easily imagined. Being a scientist, he sought a rational explanation for the appearance of this "kind of latent picture and undertook a further series of chemical experiments to identify the cause. In the course of these he tried in the camera obscura another sheet of treated paper, which, "when taken out of the camera, presented hardly any thing visible; but. I continued to observe it by candlelight, and had soon the satisfaction of seeing a picture begin to appear, and all the details of it come out one after the other." Talbot soon realized that he had stumbled upon two phenomena: the fact that a latent, or hidden, image is registered in light-sensitive silver salts after a comparatively short exposure to light; and the ability of chemicals to "develop" that image into visible existence. Although the principle of the latent image had already been utilized in the daguerreotype process, where it was "developed into visibility by mercury fumes, its significance was not fully appreciated at the time.
