| Summary: | "Jewelry holds a central place in the profound evolution in aesthetics that began in the 1880s. Far from being a mere reflection of a history of art written elsewhere - in the "major" fields of painting, sculpture, or architecture - it played an active role in a radical imaginative renewal fueled by developments in scientific knowledge that were being diffused across a newly invigorated visual culture. Supplemented with a glossary of materials and techniques, as well as an ample bibliography, this book helps us understand the extraordinary rise of the art of jewelry and bijouterie in France from 1880 to 1914"-- |
