Book of the Day > Décorateurs Des Années 50
● Purchase ● The revival of the decorative arts in post-war France is extremely diverse, from the 40's style which endures through official orders to classical or neoclassical furniture whose success is unprecedented. Modernity remains a battle taken up by the young generation of decorators presented in this book. Their approach responds to the needs and aspirations of a country undergoing reconstruction, with the extraordinary vitality that characterized the time.
An introduction, which emphasizes the combination of aesthetics, fantasy and rigor of this abundant French creation, is followed by four parts, each preceded by an introduction that defines the historical context: the masters of the interwar period, the representatives of a '50s style - in freedom, playful and freed from any discourse in "ism”, the great figures of Reconstruction, and their spiritual sons. Text in French.
