Alfred Janniot, Mythology and Modern Discourse, French-English Book by M. Giraud
About the Item
Alfred Janniot, Propos Mythologiques et Modernes (Alfred Janniot, Mythology and Modern Discourse), French-English Book by Michel Giraud, 2006.
Through foundational essays supported by extensive data, this monographic soft cover catalog of an exhibition displayed at Galerie Michel Giraud in 2006 retraces the artist's career. 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.
Because of his inventiveness, Janniot, a classically trained artist, gives Greco-Roman mythology a contemporary appearance.
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, the 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.

By Modern History
Located in Atlanta, GA
Paris Secret et Insolite (Secret and Unusual Paris), French book by Rodolphe Trouilleux.
Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris!
The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign...

A renowned photographer captures the grandeur, fantasy, history, and artwork of Louis XIV's spectacular gardens of Versailles.
A beautiful book that explains fully the symbolic and historic gardens of Versailles, France.

The concept of Louis XIV and created by Le Notre, the greatest landscape architect, the gardens are a lasting tribute to the gods, nature and the marrying of these elements to architecture and design.
“In 1664 a festival was held in the gardens which marked the beginning of the glorious era of Versailles”.
