The Art of the Interior

Pages : 0
Book Description
This lavishly illustrated volume is a tribute to the designers who have made a lasting contribution to the history of interior design around the world, elevating the interior to an art form. John Saladino and Jacques Garcia are renowned contemporary designers; the clean lines and light-filled interiors of the former contrast with the luxurious, richly colored spaces created by the latter. But who were the leading designers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and which elements of their legacy remain relevant in interior design today? Respected interiors specialists Barbara and René Stoeltie chart the evolution of interior design from the seventeenth century to the present day and share their selection of significant designers from the last four hundred years. Arranged chronologically, the text places the designers in their historical context and details the primary elements that characterized their style or revolutionized taste in their day. The photographs provide a visually evocative overview of the designers’ key works, illustrating the overall impact of the room and the details that make each space memorable. These portraits of the designers and their chefs d’oeuvres demonstrate the aesthetic principles and creativity that shaped the history of interior design. From eighteenth-century interiors by Dennis Severs to Billy Baldwin’s elegant yet livable home design, or from Madeleine Castaing’s eclectic creations that blended antiques with art to the gracious curves and pastel hues of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s art nouveau Hill House, and from Bill Willis’s interpretation of Orientalism in Marrakech to the clean and graphic lines of Andrée Putman’s sleek interiors, this volume abounds with inspiration.

Book Description
What source does an artist use for inspiration? What inspires the idea for a painting? Is it a mood, a setting or a feeling? And how does the interplay of photography and painting relate to the artistic process as a whole?A book for art and nature lovers, Points of Inspiration is a personal story about an artist's journey. Steeped in the art world for more than 40 years, acclaimed contemporary landscape painter/photographer LeeAnn Brook explores the process of creating her vivid work. How did the landscapes of Italy, France, and her California home influence the painting's spirit and palette? How can a seemingly unrelated photo spark the creative thought for a painting? And consider which happens first: the painting itself or the inspiration for the painting.Featuring a foreword by award-winning writer Molly Fisk, the book demonstrates Brook's love for the landscape with over 130 images of her paintings and photography throughout the book. Accompanied by her personal story of how one medium has inspired another, the book offers glimpses into her studio and process as well as her personal vision.Points of Inspiration is a thoughtful and nourishing conversation about creativity, strolling among beautiful works of art with the artist herself.
