(ISBN 9782757204382)
This book traces the evolution from exotic Orientalism to a rigorous study of the forms, ornaments, geometry, and colors of Islamic art (carpets, ceramics, calligraphy), a major source of inspiration for Art Nouveau, industrial decorative arts, and graphic modernity. It explores the emergence of major collections, the art market, world’s fairs, and Lyon’s unique role thanks to its silk industry and designers of Oriental motifs.
An essential reference work for art history enthusiasts, collectors and lovers of aesthetics between East and West.
