Le mobilier de Versailles, chefs-d'oeuvre du XIXeme siecle.
October 2009, (23 x30 cm), 488 pp. French text, over 300 ills., clothbound/ slipcase
¶ New Price / Nouveau Prix/ Nieuwe Prijs 165,00 now 102,50 EURO - Versailles ne fut pas au XIXème siècle comme sous l'Ancien Régime la résidence des rois ni le siège du gouvernement. Mais Trianon servit sous l'Empire, la Restauration et la monarchie de Juillet à l'agrément des princes et des princesses. Il en résulta des aménagements architecturaux et des apports de mobilier extraordinaires dont la richesse est peu connue. Ce livre est la suite de l'ouvrage en deux volumes sur le mobilier du XVIIIème siècle paru précédemment. Pierre Arizzoli-Clémentel et Jean-Pierre Samoyault nous proposent une description complète parfaitement documentée et richement illustrée de ce mobilier du XIXème siècle qui comporte de nombreux chefs-d'Ïuvre.

¶ New Price / Nouveau Prix/ Nieuwe Prijs 325,00 now 159,00 Euro - Louis XIV moved to Versailles in 1672.

Vertigo of color. Matisse, Derain, and the origins of fauvism.
09 2023, (21,5 x 26,6 cm), 192 pp. English, 126 colour ills, hardcover.
¶ In the summer of 1905, the French painters Henri Matisse and André Derain changed the course of art history with their radical color experiments. During the summer of 1905, Henri Matisse and André Derain went on holiday in Collioure, a modest French fishing village fifteen miles from the Spanish border. This groundbreaking book examines how two artists, entranced by the shifting light and stunning imagery of the eastern Mediterranean, laid the groundwork for the movement known as Fauvism (from the French fauve, or 'wild beast'). Featuring more than 70 paintings, watercolors, and drawings produced by Matisse and Derain during their stay, the book also brings to life their personal and artistic revelations with 21 of their letters, published here for the first time in English. Vivid and engaging texts detail their daring experiments with color, form, structure, and perspective; the scandal their paintings caused when they were exhibited several months later; and how, despite the jeering remarks from critics, these works changed the course of French painting. Emphasizing as never before the legacy of that summer, this publication shows how the two artists' radical investigations galvanized their contemporaries, and how this strain of modernism, created almost by accident, resonates even into the present day.

Perfect Likeness. European and American Porttrait Miniatures from the Cincinnati Art Museum
02 2006, 25,3 x 29,1 cm), 344 pp., English text, over 200 ills., in colour, hardcover with dustwrappers.
¶ Diminutive marvels of artistry and fine craftsmanship, portrait miniatures reveal a wealth of information within their small frames. They can tell tales of cultural history and biography, of people and their passions, of evolving tastes in jewelry, fashion, hairstyles, and the decorative arts. Unlike many other genres, miniatures have a tradition in which amateurs and professionals have operated in parallel and women artists have flourished as professionals. This richly illustrated book presents approximately 180 portrait miniatures selected from the holdings of the Cincinnati Art Museum, the largest and most diverse collection of its kind in North America. The book stresses the continuity of stylistic tradition across Europe and America as well as the vitality of the portrait miniature format through more than four centuries. A detailed catalogue entry, as well as a concise artist biography, appears for each object. Essays examine various aspects of miniature painting, of the depiction of costume in miniatures, and of the allied art of hair work.

French Art Nouveau Ceramics: an illustrated dictionary.
April 2015, (23 x 30 cm), 400 pp. English text, 900 ills., hardcover with dustjacket.
¶ This book is a unique and comprehensive illustrated dictionary of French Art Nouveau Ceramics. A census conducted in 1901 indicated the existence of some 209 producers of pottery in France, employing a total of around 5,800 full-time labourers. This great activity stimulated a parallel development in the arts, including the search for new expressions in art pottery, giving birth to l'art nouveau, a great and eclectic synthesis of a number of other art styles. Largely through British arts and crafts, and the work of artists like the Manxman Archibald Knox, it reached far back into the prehistory of Celtic art. To this were added later medieval elements, through the gothic revival championed by William Morris. The need for renewal, breaking away from the neo-Classical and academia, which was realm of the upper-class culture, was largely theorised by John Ruskin, who searched elsewhere for inspiration. Thus did British art nouveau also partake of Chinese and Japanese styles, though never in so forceful a manner as did the French aesthetic. France, on the one side, looked back to the swirling and frivolous eighteenth century Rococo, primarily through the influence of the Goncourt brothers, Edmond and Jules, influential aesthetes of the mid nineteenth century. The book focuses especially on artists working stoneware or gre's, faience, and terracotta. It aims to provide a general survey of the many artists working in these areas, and includes brief accounts of the ceramics work of sculptors and painters whose wider output is already well know.

Fashion for God. Religieus textiel uit Noord-Nederlandse schuilkerken 1580-1800.
2023, (22 x 28 cm), 224 pp. Dutch text, 200 ills., softcover.
¶ Van oudsher zijn de priestergewaden bij uitstek de objecten waaraan in een kerk de meeste aandacht en het meeste geld werd besteed. Ze waren, en zijn nog steeds vaak, van een oogverblindende en hemelse schoonheid. Toen het voortbestaan van de katholieke kerk tijdens de Republiek bedreigd werd en katholieke schuilkerken niet herkenbaar mochten zijn vanaf de straat, werd aan de binnenkant gecompenseerd wat aan de buitenkant niet getoond mocht worden. In de zeventiende eeuw werden de gewaden gouden, zilveren en zijden uitingen van stil verzet, maar ook van een feministische agenda van de makers. Achter gesloten deuren werd letterlijk en figuurlijk alles uit de kast getrokken om het katholieke geloof uit te dragen. Gedragen baljurken met kleurrijke gebloemde Franse, Engelse en Chinese modestoffen werden door rijke, vrome vrouwen aan de kerk geschonken zodat er prachtige en bijzondere kerkgewaden van gemaakt konden worden. Zo kon het dus zomaar voorkomen dat er een priester in een roze gewaad met bloemetjes aan het altaar stond.

Art Nouveau. The French Aesthetic.
2002, (28 x 32,2 cm), 642 pp. Englsih text, 740 ills., colour, clothbound/ dustjacket / boxed set.
¶ Rarely has a subject been served by a book of this stature. Five years in the making, it covers all aspects of Art Nouveau in France in 624 authoritative pages and 740 illustrations. Arwas traces the evolution of the movement as it developed, primarily in Nancy and Paris, with the help of carefully chosen illustrations, many never published before. Ranging from the 1900 Paris exhibition to paintings, graphics and posters and such collecting fields as furniture, jewellery, ceramics, book bindings and sculpture, the informative, witty text ranges over architecture, haute couture, and the role of women in Art Nouveau with a particular look at such theatrical icons as Sarah Bernhardt, Loïe Fuller and the Grandes Horizontales. Destined to become the standard book on the subject, both content and design will appeal widely to the connoisseur, the specialist and the collector, as well as to the novice who will be introduced to the magical wonders of the style.

David Bailly. Tijd, Dood en IJdelheid.
03 2023, (23 x 28 cm), 160 pp. Dutch text, 130 ills., softcover.
¶ Met zijn Vanitasstilleven met portret van een jonge schilder uit 1651 verwierf de kunstenaar David Bailly een prominente plaats in de kunstgeschiedenis. Het schilderij is al sinds de negentiende eeuw veelbesproken vanwege de hoge kwaliteit en opmerkelijke combinatie van portret en stilleven. Nog altijd wordt het werk omringd door vragen. Schilderde de kunstenaar zichzelf als jongeman? En wie is de vrouw die als een grijze schim tegen de achterwand verschijnt? In dit boek worden het schilderij en de kunstenaar aan een grondig onderzoek onderworpen. Bailly woonde in Leiden en was een tijd- en stadgenoot van Rembrandt. Hij werkte als schilder en tekenaar van portretten en stillevens. Voor het eerst wordt zijn oeuvre in kaart gebracht, en kunnen dankzij materiaal-technisch onderzoek de verborgen lagen van zijn belangrijkste meesterwerk worden onthuld.

Jongkind & vrienden. Monet, Boudin, Daubigny en anderen.
October 2017, (22 x 28 cm), 224 pp. Dutch text, 275 colour ills., paperback.
¶ Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891) is een sleutelfiguur in de schilderkunst van de 19de eeuw en pionier van het impressionisme. Hij werd geboren in Nederland, maar woonde het grootste deel van zijn leven in Frankrijk, waar hij bevriend raakte met kunstenaars als Monet, Boudin, Daubigny en Pissarro. Jongkind schilderde naast stadsgezichten vooral kust- en rivierlandschappen. Zijn rake observaties van de natuur en zijn directe, losse manier van schilderen waren een eye opener voor de Franse kunstenaars. Vanuit de Hollandse, realistische traditie gaf Jongkind de aanzet tot het impressionisme in Frankrijk. Monet zei dat Jongkind hem had leren kijken: 'Hij zorgde voor de opvoeding van mijn oog'. Manet noemde hem 'de vader van het moderne landschap'. Zijn werk was zeer geliefd bij het Franse publiek. Geregeld keerde Jongkind terug naar Nederland waar hij ijsgezichten, maannachten, de havens van Rotterdam en Dordrecht en het Hollandse polderlandschap schilderde. Jongkind noemde Dordrecht 'de mooiste stad van Nederland' en spoorde zijn Franse vrienden aan om ook naar de schilderachtige stad af te reizen.

A Journey Through Clocks. Masterpieces from the Parnassia Collection.
05 2022, (24 x 30 cm), 2 volumes, 496 pp. English text, ca. 400 ills, hardcover and slipcase.
¶ The Parnassia Collection is a sumptuous collection of clocks, the models of which were produced in a few copies, or even only one, and executed between 1790 and 1820, sometimes a little later. They were chosen for their aesthetics, the quality of their cases and, of course, their perfect condition. They coexist with some previous works meaningfully, but all are linked to the framework of the collection, which is divided into two parts. The first includes what we have called, for lack of imagination, 'classic' clocks, the other includes the main models of what we call 'black' clocks. Their reunion justifies the subtitle that we have given to this work, 'An odyssey in pendulums'. This set is an example of what the passion for beauty, even focused on a period, can lead to, that is to say, dazzle. Jean-Dominique Augarde, art historian specializing in decorative arts and author of several reference books.
