So…roughly three months ago my mother was trying to order a painting for her office space of a New Orleans street view

She picked out a print of pointillism style painting, nice bright colors, appealing to the eye sort of thing.

It arrives only for her to find that it’s not a painting, but rather a mosaic-by-number kit with ~75,000 pieces. Her eyes are bad enough that she can’t really put it together herself and my fathers hands aren’t steady enough to get the tiles facing the right way. So, for the past two weeks I’ve been putting them down one by one so that she can have a nice mosaic for her office wall instead.

I’m roughly 25-30% done:

Tile Art is an informative volume that traces the rich tradition of these sumptuous tiles and fully illustrates their varied designs. The author deals lucidly and extensively with various manufacturing and decorating processes, as well as with the most significant designers and potteries in Britain, on the Continent and in the United States. Dutch Delfware tiles are described in detail, as are Portuguese azulejos, Italian maiolica panels, Scandinavian stove surrounds, British and American Arts and Crafts exemples and French and Ductch Art Nouveau creations. The contributions of artists and designers such as William Morris, Walter Crane, Vanessa Bell and Louis Comfort Tiffany are noted, and the technical advances pioneered by such companies as Mintons, Pilkingtons, Low and Maw are described in relation to the increasing sophistication in tile design during the 19th century. 

Libro sulla storia delle piastrelle in ceramica decorative. Una storia che inizia dall’ Antica Persia, con le facciate e gli interni dei templi decorati secondo l’arte islamica. L’arte della ceramica si diffonderà successivamente in tutto il mondo, arricchendo castelli medioevali, chiese Vittoriane, negozi e abitazioni domestiche dei giorni nostri.

Tile art is one of the traditional Turkish arts. It is a type of ceramic used to decorate architectural structures such as mosques, tombs, palaces, fountains and mansions.

فن البلاط هو أحد الفنون التركية التقليدية. هو نوع من السيراميك يستخدم لتزيين المباني المعمارية مثل المساجد والمقابر والقصور والنوافير والقصور.

Çini sanatı geleneksel Türk sanatlarından birisidir. Cami, türbe saray, çeşme ve köşk gibi mimarı yapıları süslemek için kullanılan seramik türüdür.
