Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This important book forms part of the Handmade in Britain partnership between the V&A and the BBC. Published as the culmination of a year-long season of programming over three series, it explores the history of making in Britain, looking across all media within the decorative arts. Handmade in Britain expands on the programmes, featuring key objects and makers in the V&A's collection as well as contributions from contemporary practitioners. It traces Britain's status as an unsophisticated importer of luxury Renaissance goods, to becoming one of the leading worldwide exporters of decorative arts by the end of the nineteenth century, and discusses present-day making - particularly the relationship between industrialized and craft-based processes and practice. It also shows how the history of making in Britain is not a London-centric story, but one of regional centres across the country often suited to different manufacturers for specific reasons. Like the programmes, the book takes each tradition in turn, looking at ceramics, metalwork, wood, textiles and stained glass. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: Sehr gut. 160 S. Einband leicht berieben. - A wooden head carved in the north of Brazil to ward off evil spirits; belts woven with symbolic designs from Lake Titicaca in Peru; the beautiful baskets of the Cholo Indians of the Pacific coast of Colombia. Whether from coastal areas, forests or mountains, from pre-Columbian or Spanish Colonial traditions, urban workshops or remote villages, South American arts and crafts show an astonishing vitality. Lucy Davies and Mo Fini have distilled the essence of their extensive research into the creative traditions of this vast area. They include advice and reference for collectors. And with the aid of special, often spectacular photography, they examine all the main media: pottery, jewellery and metalwork; the arts of weaving plant fibre - sombreros, bags and baskets; the ancient textile tradition; painting on clay, leather and glass; wood carving; and extraordinary crafts such as figuras de masapan, colourful and imaginative bread dough figures from Calderon, Ecuador.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Islamic world's artistic traditions experienced profound transformation in the 19th century as rapidly developing technologies and globalizing markets ushered in drastic changes in technique, style, and content. Despite the importance and ingenuity of these developments, the 19th century remains a gap in the history of Islamic art. To fill this opening in art historical scholarship, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean charts transformations in image-making, architecture, and craft production in the Islamic world from Fez to Istanbul. Contributors focus on the shifting methods of production, reproduction, circulation, and exchange artists faced as they worked in fields such as photography, weaving, design, metalwork, ceramics, and even transportation. Covering a range of media and a wide geographical spread, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean reveals how 19th-century artists in the Middle East and North Africa reckoned with new tools, materials, and tastes from local perspectives'--.

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Despite their beauty and variety, the crafts of Himachal Pradesh have not received the attention they deserve, nor have they been documented in a comprehensive book till now. Crafts of Himachal Pradesh is among the first books to fill this need. The picturesque people of this land, popularly known as Devabhumi, the abode of the gods, continue to express their innate creativity in numerous artefacts. Apart from fulfilling a functional purpose, these objects are steeped in tradition and are deeply rooted in the soil. All the crafts nurtured by the people of Himachal - be they clay toys, wood or stone carvings, metalwork, gold and silver ornaments, basketware, embroideries, woollen fabrics or ceremonial paintings executed in keeping with the seasonal cycle - bear the stamp of the sensitive fingers and refined sensibility of their creators. The link between the sophisticated classical tradition on the one hand and the spontaneous rural art tradition on the other has been highlighted in the chapters devoted to each of these craft traditions. One is struck by the contrast between the Himachal people's love of ornamentation and the simplicity of their lives. ISBN 094414246X Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1550 Mit zahlr. farb. Abb.

With a list of Useful names and addresses and Index. - - - "This book is an introduction to Swedish design for those in other countries interested in the subject at any level, from the simply curious to the professional or academic. Contemporary Sweden has a diverse and thriving design and crafts community, successfully engaged in creative dialogue with the world as well as its own design heritage, a position it has also enjoyed in the past. This book charts the circumstances of this international resurgence over the last two decades, its historical perspective, and the traditions of democracy and modernity in Swedish society that Swedish design has reflected over the past century. The publication of this book goes some way to remedy a general lack of literature on Swedish design in English, at a time when, appositely, promotion of design has started to become part ofthe political agenda. lt makes no claim to be definitive, but is intended to inspire further interest, with an appendix of useful names and addresses for those who wish to know more.".
