"Art deco is the 20th century's most glamorous architectural style, and the one that shaped popular ideas of modern luxury. With over 200 photographs, this is a visual celebration of this very popular style. Unlike most other books on the subject that tend to be regionally specific, this book highlights Art Deco buildings from all over the world, from Australia to South America, with an emphasis on London, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Miami, and Paris. Art Deco features much careful and exacting detail, and of special interest in this book are photos that zoom in on murals, mosaics, flooring, ironwork, and other ornamental flourishes." --

"This lavishly illustrated volume is the first major global history of ornament from the Middle Ages to today. Crossing historical and geographical boundaries in unprecedented ways and considering the role of ornament in both art and architecture, Histories of Ornament offers a nuanced examination that integrates medieval, Renaissance, baroque, and modern Euroamerican traditions with their Islamic, Indian, Chinese, and Mesoamerican counterparts. At a time when ornament has re-emerged in architectural practice and is a topic of growing interest to art and architectural historians, the book reveals how the long history of ornament illuminates its global resurgence today. Organized by thematic sections on the significance, influence, and role of ornament, the book addresses ornament's current revival in architecture, its historiography and theories, its transcontinental mobility in medieval and early modern Europe and the Middle East, and its place in the context of industrialization and modernism. Throughout, Histories of Ornament emphasizes the portability and politics of ornament, figuration versus abstraction, cross-cultural dialogues, and the constant negotiation of local and global traditions."--Publisher's description.

Qu'il soit éphémère ou permanent, profane ou religieux, qu'il concerne l'architecture, la sculpture, la peinture, la tapisserie ou les jardins, l'art du décor atteint en Europe un degré exceptionnel d'élaboration et de complexité à partir de la Renaissance. Les études réunies dans le présent volume s'intéressent aux dispositifs d'encadrement, réels ou feints, imaginés par les artistes pour délimiter, articuler, transfigurer les différentes parties de leurs décors, tout en conditionnant l'expérience et la réception du message proposé aux sens. Trop souvent considéré par l'histoire de l'art comme un ornement accessoire destiné à embellir objets et images, le motif du cadre trouve dans les décors de la première modernité (1500-1700) un champ d'application aussi vaste que fécond, et permet de penser l'½uvre dans son ensemble comme un système unitaire organisant, parfois de façon étonnement ludique, plusieurs niveaux de représentation et d'artifice.

Painted altarpieces form an important and familiar part of Peter Paul Rubens?s substantial oeuvre. Much less widely known is the fact that Rubens?s involvement in such commissions sometimes went beyond the paintings themselves, and that he also designed sculptural framing and decorative surrounds for his patrons. There are several examples of designs by Rubens for sepulchral monuments too.00These altar surrounds and tombs belong to the category of ?architectural sculpture?, comprising the elements of the orders of architecture and their free application on the one hand, and monumental figurative or ornamental sculptural elements on the other. This was a visual language in which Rubens was especially well versed, and he drew on it not only in his paintings but also in his designs for tapestries, title-pages, book illustrations and ephemeral decorations.00Rubens?s designs for architectural sculpture were more than just a natural extension of his own artistic activities: they fulfilled a need in the design practice of the sculptors and architects of the period who executed the works. Hans van Mildert, for example, regularly turned to designs by his friend Rubens. Evidence is found in both Van Mildert?s own work and that of Rubens himself of a design and workshop practice with, at its core, a collection of models that represented the intellectual capital of each of the artists concerned.00The architectural sculpture that Rubens designed is also an expression and application of his personal views on art theory, which centred on the study of sculpture by painters and defined how they ought to render it in their own work. As elsewhere in his oeuvre, Rubens?s inspiration for the visual language he brought to bear in this area was frequently drawn from celebrated examples from antiquity and sixteenth-century Italy.
