The book of the bath
Folio in black-blue color illus DJ, gilt to spine, 208 pages, color illustrations, 32 cm. Nude woman to front DJ. DJ protected in archival mylar sleeve. || Chronicles the evolution of baths and bathing with abundant illustrations: For over 2000 years, in the Far East as in the West, bathing and showering have been more than practical necessities. Bathing has become a rite and a refuge, and this is the first book to lavish due attention on the history of the bath across the centuries and around the world. Although the room for bathing as we know it has existed for only a century, public baths wee institution in ancient cultures; and, of course, beginning n the Renaissance, bathing was not just hygienic, but a sensual and sybaritic event. In The Book of the Bath, abundant illustrations- from Byzantine frescoes and Orientalist paintings of harems to photographs by Robert Doisneau and engravings from old fixtures catalogs-chronicle the evolution of baths, bathing, and its many accoutrements. Enticing contemporary photography shows baths in the Middle East and Japan, saunas in Sweden, and the often luxurious private bathrooms of the West. At a time when the bath and its associated therapies-thermal springs, scented oils, massages, and soaps-have become a crucial part of sensual and healthy living. The Book of the Bath offers a luxurious pictorial history to inspire the mind and soothe the senses. Bathing customs -- History.

Moss, Murray ; Getchell, Franklin
Please do not touch : and other things you could not do at MOSS, the design store that changed design by Murray Moss & Franklin Getchell.
Small quato in white paper backed baords illus in b&w; 331 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 25 cm. No jacket, as issued. "For almost twenty years the SoHo design gallery MOSS was the place where design, art, money, and glamour mixed. Murray Moss, the impresario behind the shop, and his partner, Franklin Getchell, were the leading arbiters of good taste and the new--launching the careers of now-established designers such as Studio Job and Maarten Baas while bringing back into fashion eighteenth-century porcelain and Tupperware. By mixing high and low MOSS shifted the design conversation from the galleries of MoMA to a storefront in SoHo. Please Do Not Touch is their witty insider confessions of that exciting time. Natural storytellers, Moss and Getchell effortlessly weave entertaining and revealing tales that take the reader behind the scenes of MOSS's famous opening night parties and spectacular projects and partnerships with never-before-seen photographs from their personal archives. A memoir by two legends of modern design, Please Do Not Touch is sure to become a "bible" for cognoscenti and students alike--transporting lovers of modern design back to the time when high design first broke all barriers."--Pubisher. || Interior decoration -- New York (State) -- New York.

Extra shipping charges may apply for international & expedited orders. Please inquire.** || "The hundreds of color photographs by Lois Lammerhuber set a new standard for design and furniture photography. Linda Chase's engaging text, which includes interviews with leading experts and museum curators, is the most comprehensive account available of this influential and vital style." "Biedermeier furniture and interior design are recognized today as the first great flowering of haute bourgeois taste in interior decoration. Beginning in the early nineteenth century, these ideals in design were pursued by a wide range of society, from the Habsburgs and Hohenzollern to the middle class throughout Central Europe. The style ranges from celebrations of comfort, domestic intimacy, and practicality to highly embellished pieces designed for public display. Biedermeier's innate classicism, its often lyrical, yet elegant forms, have made it an influential inspiration that is truly timeless."--Jacket.

Artiste complet, il fut aussi peintre, photographe, architecte, sculpteur, graveur et scénographe. Il se considère d'ailleurs avant tout comme un inventeur et un artiste peintre. Il crée à Venise vers 1899 une entreprise de textile afin qu'il dessine lui même des motifs et fait de surprenantes découvertes techniques. A l'image de Venise, il avait la capacité d'assimiler les cultures les plus diverses. Et ce talent, il ne l'utilisa pas pour les confondre ou les dissoudre dans un melting pot sans caractère et sans nom. Bien au contraire, il sut apprécier, méditer et assimiler ce qu'elles avaient de plus noble et de plus beau. C'est ainsi que le sens artistique de Mariano Fortuny a pu recréer des oeuvres originales qui ont si bien su aider ses contemporains à retrouver la beauté oubliée. Une beauté retrouvée qui évoquait avec légèreté la splendeur du passé de Venise. Artiste peintre amateur de théâtre et d'opéra, devenu scénographe et styliste, il a su mobiliser les moyens les plus divers pour les mettre au service de la création artistique - Ottimo stato.
