The Art of the Interior
Book (italiano):
From Robert Adam to Jacques Garcia and John Saladino to Axel Vervoordt, this lavishly illustrated, panoramic compendium presents the greatest interior styles of the past 400 years. The Art of the Interior charts the evolution of interior design from the seventeenth century to the present day, providing a broad and visually evocative overview of four centuries of era-defining interior design. Each chapter introduces a style-setter who is placed in their historical context with a focus on the primary elements that characterized their style or revolutionized taste in their day. Photographs featuring each designer’s key works show both the overall impact of the room and zoom in on the details that make each space memorable. The portraits of the designers and their chef d’oeuvres illustrate the aesthetic principles and creativity that has made each of them important and relevant in the history of interior design. From the restored Georgian interiors of Dennis Severs, to Billy Baldwin’s elegant yet livable home design, from Madeleine Castaing’s eclectic creations that blended antiques with art, to the gracious curves of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s art nouveau Hill House, and from Bill Willis’s interpretation of Orientalism in Marrakesh, to the clean lines of Andrée Putman’s sleek interiors, this hefty volume offers a wealth of inspiration for the home.
