Jean-Michel Frank: Un Decorateur Dans Le Paris Des Annees 30 (Book)

About the Item

By Martin Vivier, Pierre Emmanuel et all. On the occasion of an exhibition organised by the Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation where the most significant works of the decorator and the artists who worked with him will be gathered, this catalogue traces the artist's journey, evokes his links with surrealists, his friendship with Louis Aragon, Rene Crevel, Drieu La Rochelle or Francois Maurice, the role played for him by the Noailles whose smoking room, decorated in 1925, is one of the aesthetic symbols of Paris between the wars. This catalogue is also an opportunity to confront the minimalist style of the decorator with the great artistic debates aroused by the modern movement, to apprehend the surrealist dimension of his sets in view of his collaborations with Salvador Dali, Emilio Terry, Christian Berard and especially Alberto Giacometti with whom he worked for nearly ten years. 140 pages. Paperback. Text in French. 700 grams
