Jean Despres: Jeweler, Maker, and Designer of the Machine Age (ISBN=9780500514788) 下载 pdf 2025 网盘 epub 在线 mobi 免费

Jean Despres (1889-1980) was an Art Deco designer who captured

the streamlined, modern aesthetic of the age of the machine and

transformed it into objects of great beauty. As a young man,

Despres became acquainted with avant-garde artists in Paris,

including Modigliani, de Chirico, and Braque, and, after the

outbreak of war in 1914, he worked on the industrial design of

airplanes. He later transferred this experience and inspiration to

his family's jewelry business, where he became known for his

innovative geometric patterns. He also created a wide range of

tableware and decorative objects in gold, silver, and pewter, whose

bold, industrial looks were uncompromisingly modern, yet always

graceful and refined. Many drawings and designs are reproduced here

for the first time, and original photographs are complemented by a

number of new photographs taken especially for the book. Despres

has always been the jeweler of choice for informed collectors and

insiders: Josephine Baker was an early admirer, and Andy Warhol's

personal collection was sold at Sotheby's New York in 1988. This

splendidly illustrated survey of his work will delight new admirers

and connoisseurs alike.
