5000 Years of Tiles by Hans Van Lemmen Pdf

A comprehensive, full-color exploration of tile art and production worldwide, from earliest times to the present day. The book is both an authoritative work of reference and a visual delight, ranging from ancient Greece, where the first fired roof tiles date from as early as the third millennium BC, to twentieth-century Mexico. Along the way we encounter stunning examples of the tiler's art: the enormous English medieval floor pavements from Byland Abbey and Clarendon Palace; figural tiles from China, intended to adorn roofs and ward off evil; the famous Iznik tiles from the Islamic world, with their richly decorative patterns; the highly stylised ceramic tiles of the Arts and Crafts movement; and the tiles created by some of the finest ceramic artists and potters of the twenty-first century. Placing the tiles firmly in their historical and cultural context, the book highlights both continuity and diversity, the dissemination of techniques and designs, and how tile art in one time and place has inspired and rejuvenated those in others. Tiles are also studied in terms of function as well as form, and the full range of architectural and practical purposes for which they have been used - from floors to roofs, stoves to bathrooms, cathedrals to metro stations - will be explored, along with the various techniques employed to create such versatile pieces. 5000 Years of Tiles is the essential, most comprehensive single volume for anyone interested in the ceramic, decorative, and architectural arts.

Flowers and World Views by Eva de la Fuente Pedersen,Hanne Kolind Poulsen,Folmer Arnklit,Statens Museum for Kunst (København) Pdf

Featuring more than 300 works, the exhibition offers a sensuous walk through the many and varied riches of the world of flowers while also digging deeper, demonstrating that a flower is not just a flower. The art of flower painting has always been in a state of flux. Focusing on the highly varied flower paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries, the exhibition homes in on how the artists' painstaking depictions of flowers, fruit, and plants have been affected by history and how the genre is always contingent on the prevalent worldviews. Exhibition: Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark (22.03.-20.10.2013). 0.
