Abstract

Isolé sur les hauteurs d’une vallée bordée de vaste étendue de bois, en province du Luxembourg dans la commune de Gouvy, le château de Lihérin ou Lihérain connu sous le nom des Laides de Fagnes, est un patrimoine construit en différentes parties qui couvre le XVIIe au XXe siècles. Sa construction prend place sur le site d’une ancienne villa romaine, ce qui le rend atypique. Celle-ci a été mis à jour lors des fouilles menées en 1890 , confirmant l’existence de vestige gallo-romain.
Lihérain signifierait « une maison ou habitation de la Lande », il a été commandé par la famille Schimtz , descendante de la famille de Steinbach . Au début du XXe siècle, cette famille possédait le château de Steinbach , le château de Lihérin, le château du Mesnil et 4000 hectares de forêt et de terres agricoles autour de Steinbach. Le château de Lihérin a été construit beaucoup plus récemment et était probablement plus confortable que le château de Steinbach. 
C’est pourquoi la famille des Schmitz a probablement quitté le château de Steinbach pour s’installer au château de Lihérin

Abstract

The work of women designers has not traditionally been the focus of mainstream histories of design. By revealing the untold story of female design pioneers, this comprehensive introduction celebrates their crucial role in the history of modern processes of making. Arranged chronologically, this guide considers the structural barriers to professional success and how women overcame these hurdles, charting the success of designers including Anni Albers at the Bauhaus, the architect Eileen Grey, interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe and fashion icon Mary Quant, focusing on the key subjects of architecture, craft, fashion, furniture, graphics, interior, product and textile design. The link between early twentieth-century revolutionary design and lifestyle is explored, as well the ideas of shopping and consumerism as a liberating activity. The important contribution of designers during and after the Second World War is also discussed, along with design activism, design collectives and the current success of women working transnationally in architecture and design.

Abstract

An exciting narrative and visual history of the artist's studio, examining the myth and reality of the creative space from early times to today.0 The artist's workplace has always been an imaginary as well as an actual location, an idealized utopia as well as the domain of dirty, back-breaking work. Written descriptions, paintings, prints and even photographs of the artist's atelier distort as much as they document. This pioneering cultural history charts the myth and reality of the creative space from Ancient Greece to the present day.0 Tracing a history that extends far beyond the bohemian, romantic and renaissance cults of the artist, each chapter focuses on key developments of the studio space as seen in a variety of familiar and unfamiliar images. Mythical and divine makers, and some amateurs, are included, and so too are craftspeople - workers in metal and wood, potters, illuminators, weavers, embroiderers and architects to name a few. Each carefully chosen example is placed within a cultural and political context, with the aim of correcting the historical imbalance that has long overlooked the many artisans who collaborated with artists. Leading authority James Hall also extends the discussion to the artist's museum and the artist's house, as well plein air painting and the development of portable studios.
