About the Item
Alfred Janniot, Propos Mythologiques et Modernes (Alfred Janniot, Mythology and Modern Discourse), French-English Book by Michel Giraud, 2006.
This monographic soft cover catalog of an exhibition held at Galerie Michel Giraud in 2006 retraces the artist's career through fundamental texts nourished by rich documentation. This work about Alfred Janniot, one of the greatest sculptors of the Art Deco period, is, for collectors and museums, "The" reference. A dialogue between drawings and sculptures will highlight the journey of this creative force that inspired all of Alfred Janniot's work.
An artist steeped in classical culture, Janniot, because of his imagination, imposes a modern look on Greco-Roman mythology.
This master among masters contributed, through his talent, to the worldwide reputation of French monumental sculpture today.
The book describes the career of this sculptor (1889-1969), a friend of Bernard, Bourdelle, and Pompon, creator of the fresco in the Musée des Colonies, the bas-reliefs in the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and those in the Rockefeller Center in New York, through fundamental texts, works, and drawings.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
