Paris 2011. 1 volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée . Format in-4°(.27 x 21 cm )(.1420 gr ). ------ 355 pages très illustrées. **************************** Présentation éditeur : "" Emile Gallé est - sinon le maître de l'Art nouveau - du moins l'un de ses artistes majeurs. Après des décennies d'oubli, ses oeuvres sont aujourd'hui unanimement reconnues et ses conceptions artistiques ont été consignées par lui dans de très nombreux écrits (articles, lettres, préfaces, notices d'exposition.). En 1908, quatre ans après sa mort, sa veuve - Henriette Gallé-Grimm - a d'ailleurs publié un premier choix de ces textes sous le titre d'Ecrits pour l'Art (repris dans le présent ouvrage). Dans L'Amour de l'art, François Le Tacon a réuni l'ensemble des écrits d'Emile Gallé se rapportant à l'art, complétés par des descriptions importantes de chefs-d'oeuvre par Gallé lui-même (Flore de Lorraine, Chemin d'automne, Champ du sang par exemple) ainsi que la description de nombreuses pièces détenues par des collectionneurs d'exception comme le comte Robert de Montesquiou. Tous ces textes et descriptions sont illustrés de reproductions en couleur des oeuvres de Gallé (dessins, croquis.). La publication des textes de Gallé réunis sous le titre de LAmour de l'art est organisée autour de six parties thématiques : considérations sur l'art, art et industrie, l'Ecole de Nancy, la céramique, le verre, le bois.

AROUND THE FORT IN 80 LIVES is the first book in The Merchant City and is built on an entirely new consept in travel writing.Merchant cities worldwide at the cross-currents of history and culture, and are sublect to constant renewal. Galle Fort is no exception;tha loss of someold families to Colombo and overseas means it has never been more important to document their fascinating history for future generations. This book is a work of passion, and involved going from building interviewing people about their family history and current circumstances. Without this documentation, we feel that the buildings would lack real meaning. As storytellers, we view our task as being as fundamental to the preservation of the Fort, as the architectural restoration that is being carried out by UNESCO and Galle Heritage
