SKU | 3258876694114 |
The angular jewelry Jean Després designed in the 1930s based on the intricate forms of engine parts revolutionized the public perception of precious jewelry. Striking out against tradition, he worked with pewter, silver, and brass to evoke the speed and vitality of the 20th century, using his World War I experience drawing engine parts for the French army. Although this book, published to accompany an exhibition that will travel to Paris and New York, emphasizes his machine-inspired designs, he fabricated a wide range of wearable jewelry and a line of hand-formed silver vessels similar to those produced by Viennese designers. Gabardi (Art Deco Jewellery, 1920–1949) presents a readable narrative text with extensive references to Després’s collaborators, friends, and artistic influences.
