Premier titre d'une collection consacrée aux Arts décoratifs, " Style Empire " n'est ni une grammaire de style, ni un précis de décoration, ni un catalogue pour collectionneurs en mal de références... C'est un bel ouvrage résolument novateur destiné à un large public, dans lequel textes et images sont traités séparément et sur des papiers différents, et qui met en scène la beauté, la rareté, la spécificité des objets qu'il donne à découvrir. Les principaux arts décoratifs sont évoqués à partir du matériau qui les caractérise : le bronze, le verre et le cristal, les textiles, la porcelaine, etc. Chaque texte, écrit par un conservateur ou un auteur spécialisé, précède son cahier photographique. Toutes les photographies sont des prises de vues originales inédites, réalisées pour l'ouvrage par le même photographe. L'accent est mis résolument sur le détail, les matières, la richesse des décors, loin de l'académisme et de la représentation convenue. Tous ceux qui s'intéressent à leur patrimoine trouveront ici de quoi satisfaire leur curiosité et leur sens artistique. Avec, en prime, quelques jolies surprises glanées au fil des pages : objets rarement exposés, jamais encore photographiés, bijoux sortis du coffre pour la première fois, étoffes rares, décors conservés " dans leur jus "... " Style Empire ", un livre original et surprenant, un autre regard sur quinze années de magnificence.

Spring Group Show at the Solomin
Last night, I attended the opening of the Spring Group Show at the Solomon Fine Art Gallery, 2 Balfe St., Dub 2 D02 T802. The venue was packed. There was a wide range of paintings, etchings and sculptures in a variety of medium on view. Most of the sculptures were bronze. Many of the paintings were mixed-medium. It was a refreshing exhibition with lots of new artworks. This show will run until 29th Apr 2023.

Victor Noir's grave in Père - Lachaise cemetery by Patrick Magaud, 1984.
Noir is perhaps more famous for his death and grave than work.
He was a journalist who was shot dead; the grave consists of a full-sized bronze statue of the man laying down as if he was just shot.
The statue became a fertility symbol - the story says those who kiss the statue on the lips, leave a flower in Victor's hat and rub the genital area will find themselves with enhanced fertility, a great sex life or find a husband within one year. The lips and trousers' bulge on the grave are noticeably shiny from people kissing and rubbing them.

My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!
