About the Item
Moorish style, style Mauresque – 1995
French Edition by Miles Danby (Author), Nordine Haddad (Translator)
Presenting images of the architecture and decorative arts of the Islamic world, particularly Moorish Spain, this volume shows how it acted as an inspiration for designers and architects in the 19th- and 20th-centuries in Europe and America. It explains the development and characteristic elements of Islamic art and architecture through the buildings of mosques, the medium of calligraphy and pattern and through the handling of materials as diverse as ceramic, wood and stone.
Au XIXe sicle, la fascination europenne pour l'Orient exotique donna naissance ce que l'on a appel " l'orientalisme ". Les traditions artisanales, les paysages et les villes des mondes ottoman, arabe et moghol inspirrent nombre de peintres, tels Delacroix, Ingres et Matisse, l'architecture et les arts dcoratifs ont vu cette expression artistique s'imposer sous le nom de style mauresque. Ce style a revtu maintes formes en Occident, singularisant aussi bien les lieux privs que les synagogues et les cinmas (souvent baptiss " Alhambra "), Dans cette tude magnifiquement Illustre, Miles Danby retrace les origines de ce style tel qu'il s'exprime dans l'art et l'architecture de l'islam. Il examine et interroge l'espace, les motifs, les lments dcoratifs et structuraux qui caractrisent les mosques et les palais de l'Inde moghole, la Turquie ottomane ou l'Espagne mauresque. De tous les difices marqus par ce style, l'Alhambra de Grenade est certainement le plus important. Trs savamment tudi par le clbre architecte du XIXe sicle Owen Jones, ce palais-forteresse baptis " la muraille rouge " allait inspirer nombre d'difices privs et publics au XXe sicle, et donner vie aux rves exotiques de riches esthtes. Ce livre, le premier examiner le style mauresque de ses origines ses manifestations contemporaines, sduira un large public, amateurs, architectes et designers.
