"Bronze, long celebrated for its durability and the wide range of effects that it offers, has been prized as an artistic material in many parts of the world throughout the ages. Magnificent bronze sculptures from ancient times have emerged unscathed after millennia on the sea-bed, and the material has been used for works on all scales, from the minute to the monumental. This sumptuous catalogue examines bronze's earliest beginnings in North Africa, the Middle East and China, as it left behind tools and weaponry to become a fine-art material. Leading authorities chart the virtuosity of artists in ancient Greece and Rome; later developments in Asia and Africa; bronze's great flowering in the European Renaissance in the hands of such figures as Ghiberti, Donatello and Cellini; and its use in the modern era by artists from Rodin and Picasso to Brancusi and Bourgeois. A unique testament to the works of art that one medium has inspired, Bronze contains lavish colour plates of over 150 masterworks arranged chronologically to take the reader on a voyage through time, tracing the work of bronze sculptors, casters and chasers through the centuries."--Jacket.

Le mot design apparaît au milieu du xixe siècle dans une Angleterre où l’industrialisation amène des questionnements sur les propriétés formelles des objets. Le design va rapidement se propager dans les pays industrialisés dans la première moitié du xx e siècle, mais surtout après 1945. Le champ chronologique de cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans la période de l’après-guerre à nos jours, qui constitue une sorte d’âge d’or du design. En cherchant à se dépouiller des styles du passé, le dynamisme des créateurs et des industriels remodèle les objets du quotidien. Aucune uniformité dans ce paysage, et après la perfection nordique, l’Italie assoit son image par le dynamisme de son industrie autant que par les puissantes personnalités de ses designers. À partir des années 1980, Philippe Starck incarne le design pour le plus large public. Fondé sur l’étude des grands pays industrialisés et écrit par les meilleurs spécialistes du sujet, cet ouvrage permet, avec plus de 600 illustrations, d’aborder la variété des champs couverts par le design tout en les replaçant dans le contexte de leur époque.

Alabaster was a popular material in European sculpture, especially from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century. Its relative availability and easy to sculpt characteristic made it a highly suitable material for both large monuments and small objects, for mass production and individual works, from England to Spain and France to the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. This material has been the subject of multidisciplinary research in various European countries for several decades. The research combines material analyses with historical and art-historical approaches. This publication, made for the occasion of the large exhibition on the theme at M Leuven opening on October 14th, brings together all renown specialists on the material and sheds light on the many facets of alabaster, such as its physical and chemical properties as well as its translucency, its whiteness, its softness, and its beautiful sheen, all of which made it a popular material used in different types of sculpture from the middle ages to the baroque, all throughout Europe, ranging from bespoke tombs, funerary monuments and commissioned sculptures and altarpieces to commercially interesting formulas such as English or Mechelen alabaster reliefs.--éd.
