"Bertram takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey into the history of the term Chinoiserie , covering everything from architecture to patterns and palettes. While the entire tome is a feast for the eyes, we were especially drawn to his deep dive into porcelain and its enduring popularity."-- Frederic, "Bertram examines porcelain, flora, fauna, architecture and more as each chapter bursts with inspirational images of astounding and lasting beauty. . . . In this sumptuous volume Bertram shows us how the applications are woven through the past few centuries and how the lasting influence of Chinoiserie is more prevalent in our surroundings than we often realize."-- La Dolce Vita, In this inspiring and informative tome, Aldous Bertram explores the influence of Asia on design elements. . . .

Synopsis
Dragons and Pagodas is a gorgeously illustrated survey of chinoiserie from the 18th century to today. Chinoiserie is a term for Western art and design inspired by a largely invented vision of China. Marco Polo's sensational account of his visit to the exotic East in the 13th century sparked a fascination with China that reached a fever pitch in the 18th century and continues to this day. Art historian and artist Aldous Bertram has long been captivated by chinoiserie. Dragons & Pagodas is organized by theme, including porcelain, color and pattern, flora, fauna, and architecture. Each chapter is bursting with images ranging from grand European summer palaces and whimsical pagoda follies to charming details of screens, porcelain figurines, and ornate plasterwork. Complete with Bertram's own chinoiserie-inspired watercolors and collages, Dragons & Pagodas is an irresistible confection and an example of chinoiserie in its own right. "In this inspiring and informative tome, Aldous Bertram explores the influence of Asia on design elements. . . . If you prefer your pretty pictures with a healthy dose of history and context, this book is for you." -- House Beautiful

- u***9 (89)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseAn absolutely great deal on a CD set, and seller was an exceptional communicator throughout. I haven’t play-checked all 60 CDs yet but I did find one disc unplayable through the full track listing, contrary to the description. The scratches were completely removed however by resurfacing the disc. Shipping speed was a bit slower than expected but just within the promised timeframe. Packaging and price were perfect. Overall, I’m completely satisfied. These type of deals are why eBay exists.PHiSH (O) LivePhish (O) CD Set Vol 1-20 With Official Binder 60 Cd Total Sticky (#116386066856)
