Architecture of the Arts and Crafts Movement

New York, NY, Rizzoli, 1980. Hardcover. Blue paper boards with silver gilt lettering on spine, blue and pictorial dust jacket with off-white lettering, 224 pp. bw illustrations. "This book gives an account of the lives, theories and work of the architects of the movement which began in England and quickly influenced Europe and America. It highlights the contradictions they tried to resolve in accommodating or rejecting the developments of the new machine age, and in meeting the cost of materials and craftsmanship which forced them to work mainly for a wealthy elite class. It shows how the ideas of the movement influenced the California and Praire Schools and Art Nouveau and how it led to the development of neo-Georgianism and the growth of the machine worshipping Modern Movement after the Great War. We are at a stage in our own century which has interesting parallels with the period that gave birth to the Arts and Crafts movement. Many people, feeling alienated by the machine age and disenchanted with its products, are seeking inspiration from the craftsmanship of the past. At a time when scientific functionalism has been shown to fail and the society of conspicuous consumption is coming to an end the ideas and images of the Arts and Crafts Movement will be found to repay the serious study which this book gives them." - dust jacket description. VG-/G+ ( minimal age toning along textblock, all pages clear and intact - dust jacket shows light wear at corners and tiny tears at spine) .

Marly: L'Autre Palais Du Soleil

Geneve, Vögele, 2002. Hardcover. Navy boards with stamped gilt lettering, color illustrated dust jacket, blue spine with white lettering, 255 pp, profusely illustrated mostly in color illustrations, maps, and plans. Text in French. "There is something of an opera setting to this ensemble born for party and entertainment and vanished as soon as it is over. The hermitage created by Louis XIV, carefully and patiently decorated, contrasts in everything with the traditional architecture of the castles. Nestled in the hollow of the greenery, in a valley between Louveciennes and Marly, it stands out for its site, for the originality of its composition, for its decor. It is to Italy or Spain that one thinks, much more than of France, when discovering this royal dwelling with solar symbolism, painted in the brightest colors, imitating here the precious marbles, there the 'gold and lapis lazuli, and those multiple little pavilions aligned along the main perspective of the gardens, which revolved around him like so many satellites. Finally, here is the overall work that was missing on this house. A reference edition, incorporating the most recent research, but also a very beautiful book, thanks to its abundant iconography: paintings, plans, watercolor surveys, portraits of Marly's guests, reproductions of the many works that remain from the creation of the King - Sun. All this in order to revive, today, what was undoubtedly the most astonishing example of 17th century French architecture." dust jacket. VG+/VG (light shelf wear bo boards and dust jacket.
