Abstract

"Eileen Gray (1878-1976) was a versatile designer and architect who navigated numerous literary and artistic circles over the course of her life. This handsome volume chronicles Gray's career as a designer, architect, painter, and photographer. The book's essays, featuring copious new research, offer in-depth analysis of more than 50 individual designs and architectural projects, accompanied by both period and new photographs. Born in Ireland and educated in London, Gray proceeded to Paris where she opened a textile studio, studied the Japanese craft of lacquer that would become a primary technique in her design work, and owned and directed the influential gallery and store known as "Jean Désert." Gray struggled for acceptance as a largely self-taught woman in male-dominated professions. Although she is now best known for her furniture, lighting, and carpets, she dedicated herself to many architectural and interior projects that were both personal and socially driven, including the Villa E 1027, the iconic modern house designed with Jean Badovici, as well as economical and demountable projects, such as the Camping Tent"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

La République et ses symboles. Un territoire de signes s’attache à l’analyse des signes, des écritures, des décors et symboles républicains qui s’inscrivent sur le territoire de la France. Il montre à quel point ces signes, même les plus ordinaires, représentent des enjeux politiques à travers l’histoire. Il découvre leur fonction décorative sur les architectures monumentales comme sur les objets quotidiens. Il croise les approches, organise le dialogue des historiens du politique et du culturel avec ceux des formes ; il permet de faire le point sur les récents développements de l’historiographie depuis les travaux fondateurs de Maurice Agulhon et de Michel Vovelle.
