Abstract

The Desert de Retz, the supreme surviving example of the folly garden, is one of the most documented of France's historic gardens. Since 1990, when the Arion Press published the first book on this garden outside of Paris, the Desert de Retz has been transformed by an ongoing restoration. This edition reproduces, in a smaller oblong format, the material in the original book. Diana Ketcham's text has been expanded and updated to reflect recent scholarship and physical changes to the site. There are also new photographs that show the restored landscape and the complete restoration of the follv known as the Broken Column to its original state as a false ruin. The 100 illustrations consist of views of the construction of the park (1774-1789); models from antiquity and analogues in contemporary gardens; facsimiles of the 26 engravings of the garden that appeared in Georges Le Rouge's "Details de nouveaux jardins a la mode: jardins anglo-chinois", an illustrated book on gardens of the 18th century; and photographs of the buildings and grounds taken bv the British photographer Michael Kenna. These photographs, together with the carefully-researched text, capture the haunting atmosphere of the place during its transition from the romantic, overgrown state of benign neglect, which so intrigued the Surrealists, to the clearing and building that today preserve a balance between the encroachments of vegetation and disintegration.

Abstract

En tant que genre, la Folie a donné à l'Europe un bel héritage architectural allant de la Renaissance à nos jours, en passant par le Baroque, le Rococo et l'Art Nouveau. Construites par des mécènes quelque peu originaux, sans autre raison que le bonheur de les imaginer, les Folies reflètent, aujourd'hui encore, leurs goûts et leurs singularités. Que ce soit la puissance et la magnificence de Sans-Souci à Potsdam ou le village chimérique de Portmeirion, au pays de Galles ; une serre à fougères contemporaine créée à partir de bouteilles vides à Pembridge ou le théâtre romain de la Villa Padierna à Marbella, ces édifices fantaisistes sont un précieux témoignage d'imagination et d'excentricité. Après avoir vu le Palais Idéal, à Hauterives, le photographe Nic Barlow s'est pris de passion pour le concept de Folies. Il a voyagé depuis lors dans une dizaine de pays européens afin de rassembler une remarquable collection de documents sur ces créations architecturales " extra ordinaires " ; certaines d'entre elles étaient jusqu'alors inconnues. Grandes ou petites, imposantes ou intimes, les Folies - ou fabriques, terme plus couramment employé en français - sont devenues son obsession, traduite par le superbe ensemble de photographies rassemblées dans cet ouvrage. Les textes de Caroline Holmes et de Tim Knox retracent l'histoire de ces Folies, des plus énigmatiques aux plus célèbres. Ce livre constitue un témoignage des désirs insolites de quelques personnalités passionnées qui ont poursuivi leur rêve jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne réalité.

Abstract

Are they frivolous or practical? Follies are buildings constructed primarily for decoration, but they suggest another purpose through their appearance. In this visually stunning book, Celia Fisher describes follies in their historical and architectural context, looks at their social and political significance, and highlights their relevance today. She explores follies built in protest, follies in Oriental and Gothic styles, animal-related follies, waterside follies and grottoes, and, finally, follies in glass and steel. Featuring many fine illustrations, from historical paintings to contemporary photographs and prints, and taking in follies from Great Britain to Ireland, throughout Europe, and beyond, The Story of Follies is an amusing and informative guide to fanciful, charming buildings.
