Aristide Maillol
Ophélie Ferlier-Bouat, Antoinette Le Normand-Romain
Coédition Gallimard/Musée d'Orsay, 2022
D'abord peintre, Maillol se tourne vers la tapisserie et les arts décoratifs. Mal connue, cette première partie de sa carrière, au cours de laquelle il regarde Gauguin et Puvis de Chavannes et tisse des liens étroits avec les Nabis, montre un artiste désireux de retrouver les principes du décor mural. Il découvre la sculpture vers 1895 seulement, d'abord sur bois et de petites dimensions : Octave Mirbeau et Ambroise Vollard entre autres en reconnaissent les qualités. La Méditerranée réalisée pour le comte Kessler apparaît comme le manifeste du "retour à l'ordre", dont Maillol est un acteur majeur : proscrivant toute recherche d'expression, il instaure un nouveau classicisme et inscrit des corps féminins, à l'anatomie charpentée et sensuelle, dans des formes géométriques simples. Maillol passe avec aisance de l'esquisse au monumental, dans des allers-retours continuels.
L'imposant Monument à Cézanne invite à plonger dans son processus créateur, avant les grandes figures, aboutissement d'un parcours dans lequel la recherche d'une perfection formelle tient une place essentielle.

François Xavier & Claude Lalanne, in the Domain of Dreams

The legendary husband-and-wife artist team has been the inspiration for high-society collectors and decorators, such as Pierre Bergé, Serge Gainsbourg, Peter Marino, Jane Holzer, and Reed Krakoff for over five decades. Crossing over many audiences - from interior design to fine art to high society, the works of the Lalannes have aspirational yet broad appeal. Their surreal flock of sheep sculpture is now de rigeur for any important collection, while their functional hippopotamus wet bar sells for millions of dollars at auction. Highly collected and promoted by an important group of art insiders, Lalanne works are often the focus of the well-curated room, as seen in many magazine covers. This book on their work will appeal to decorators, designers, artists, and all those who love beautiful art objects.

Lucie Rie: modernist potter
Emmanuel Cooper

Emmanuel Cooper
Skira, 2021
Lucie Rie (1902-1995), one of the 20th century's most celebrated and iconic potters, combined an acute understanding of modernism with the skills of her chosen craft. This comprehensive biography follows Rie's life and artistic development from her birth into the Austria of the Habsburgs to her studies at the progressive Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, and finally her years in Britain following her escape in 1938 from Nazi-controlled Austria. Emmanuel Cooper, a distinguished potter who knew Rie, interviewed many of her friends and acquaintances to produce this complete and detailed account of Rie's life and work. The author has been given unrestricted access by the Rie estate to previously unpublished letters and other material, which provide fascinating new insights into her life and work and have allowed him to reevaluate Rie's creative output within the broader context of modernism and the emergence of the studio pottery movement in Britain.

Small bronze figures, made in Vienna, Austria, beginning around 1850, are well known for their great detail and expressiveness. They were produced in small factories and private artist studios in the forms of animals and humans, and were exported to sell in New York, London, and Paris. Depicted here in over 650 brilliant color photos are cast bronze birds, camels, cats, dogs, horses, bears, bulls, reptiles, and rodents as well as humans figures from around the globe and many professions. Figures integrated into lamps are also displayed. The informative text highlights major artists and firms that produced Vienna bronze figures, and values are included in the captions. Antique and figurine collectors will find much pertinent information in this new study.
