Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Louis Cartier (1875-1942), the grandson of Cartier founder Louis-Francois, was an impassioned collector and lover of the arts. He was particularly entranced by Islamic arts, especially Persian book arts, geometric shapes and colour combinations, and its motifs and exotic colour palette are apparent in Cartier jewelry to this day. However, it was his younger brother Jacques - an expert in precious stones - who travelled to India and the Persian Gulf in 1911 and 1912 to discover the culture and bring home the true treasures of the Middle East: natural pearls. This was the pivotal moment when the dialogue between these two worlds opened up, eventually blossoming into a beautiful relationship that has lasted for decades. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this lavish book delves into the Cartier archives to trace the story of Louis Cartier's love of Islamic art and the ways in which he incorporated Islam's stylized yet abstract motifs into Cartier's jewelry. Dazzling photographs of Cartier jewelry are accompanied by in-depth texts from a raft of distinguished scholars of both Islam and the decorative arts.With 250 illustrations A sumptuous exploration of the influence of the Islamic arts on Cartiers jewelry.
