Schmuckkunst um 1900
An artist of wide-ranging genius, René Lalique rose to become one of the central figures in France's decorative arts in the early twentieth century. His extraordinary output - including his scent bottles, vases, bowls, mascots and other statuary, is marvelously documented in this full-scale work. Includes more than 350 color photographs, many of which were never previously published.
The unique jewellery creations of Art Nouveau, which blurred the boundaries between jewellery and sculpture, the applied and the fine arts, are represented in this book by the work of their major exponents, first and foremost Rene Lalique.
