Find The Jewels Of LaliqueCollectif, Brunhammer, Yvonne Presented By Yvonne Brunhammer Available As Publication

So disappointed with the photos, Don't buy this book if you want good photos of Lalique's work buy Imperishable Beauty instead, Some photos in this book are outstanding crisp and large, showing excellent detail, Many of the others are slightly out of focus, poorly lit, with limited contrast and on very dark backgrounds.
It's difficult to see the pieces in any understandable detail, For example a ring on pgis printed atxbut on a full page background roughlyx.
It's all background, and it's not the only example of this treatment, Some of the smaller photos are frustratingly dark and unclear, The photos look like they have been taken from multiple sources of varying quality, and unfortunately it shows.
素晴らしい本ですRene　Laliqeのジュエリー分野におけるある意味総決算的な本だと思います海外での評価も高く大学博物館の評論書籍リストにも収載されている程です私にとって唯一の難点は英語の本だという事位ですそれとて辞書を片手に単語に当たりながらラリックの世界を読み解く楽しみなのかむしれません What a beautiful book, Full page, full color photos, with many of the pieces being shown larger than life, Original drawings of the same pieces are shown on a facing page, I wish that some of the photos of people and places had been reproduced larger, but the original old photos may have been very small to start with, and may not have blown up well bigger than they were originally printed.
All in all an absolutely

drool worthy book, I ordered this book from Half Price Books from Texas, as did not have it, The book arrived very fast, and very well wrapped and boxed, The book was listed as used good with dented corners and scuffed dust jacket, Wrong. It looked brand new. I would order from them again, And the book was half the price of the other sellers, The name of Rene Lalique is familiar throughout the world and is synonymous with one of the most extraordinary decorative vocabularies of this century Known primarily as a master craftsman of objects in glass, he was also the designer of exquisite jewelry that attained the highest expression of the Art Nouveau style This book, published to coincide with a major retrospective of the artist s early work, brings together a dazzling array of jewels, many from private collections shown here for the first time, and presents them in the context of Lalique s contemporary work in glass Authoritative texts by an International team of scholars examine a broad range of themes and influences on the artist s career from fashion and photography to literature and jeweler s techniques I saw the exhibit in person years ago and, at the time, I spent two hours pouring over this book before I went in to see the jewels in person.
I've thought about the book ever since, and I'm so glad I bought it, It delights me now as much as it did then, It's the next best thing to being there, and such a collection will probably never be assembled again.
