Sculptors and Design Reform in France 1848 to 1895 Sculpture and the Decorative Arts

Challenging distinctions between fine and decorative art this book begins with a critique of the Rodin scholarship to establish how the selective study of his oeuvre has limited our understanding of French nineteenth-century sculpture. The book's central argument is that we need to include the decorative in the study of sculpture in order to present a more accurate and comprehensive account of the practice and profession of sculpture in this period. Drawing on new archival sources sculptors and objects this is the first sustained study of how and why French sculptors collaborated with state and private luxury goods manufacturers between 1848 and 1895. Organised chronologically the book identifies three historically-situated frameworks through which sculptors attempted to validate themselves and their work in relation to industry: industrial art decorative art and objet d'art. Detailed readings are offered of sculptors who operated within and outside the Salon including Sévin Chéret Carrier-Belleuse and Rodin; and of diverse objects and materials from Sèvres vases to pewter plates by Desbois and furniture by Barbedienne and Carabin. By contesting the false separation of art from industry Claire Jones's study restores the importance of the sculptor-manufacturer relationship and of the decorative to the history of sculpture. | Sculptors and Design Reform in France 1848 to 1895 Sculpture and the Decorative Arts

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Air cargo is a key element of the global supply chain. It allows outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries and links production in both multinational and smaller enterprises.

The section on security has been expanded to assess in more depth the threats to aircraft from terrorists particularly in the lower cargo and passenger baggage compartments. Surcharges are examined and the book considers whether all airlines will follow the lead of some to do away with both fuel and security surcharges.

The Nabis and Intimate Modernism Painting and the Decorative at the Fin-de-Siècle

Providing a fresh perspective on an important but underappreciated group of late nineteenth-century French painters this is the first book to provide an in-depth account of the Nabis' practice of the decorative and its significance for twentieth-century modernism. Over the course of the ten years that define the Nabi movement (1890-1900) its principal artists included Edouard Vuillard Pierre Bonnard Maurice Denis Paul Sérusier and Paul Ranson. The author reconstructs the Nabis' relationship to Impressionism mass culture literary Symbolism Art Nouveau Wagnerianism and a revolutionary artistic tradition in order to show how their painterly practice emerges out of the pressing questions defining modernism around 1900. She shows that the Nabis were engaged nonetheless with issues that are always at stake in accounts of nineteenth-century modernist painting issues such as the relationship of high and low art of individual sensibility and collective identity of the public and private spheres. The Nabis and Intimate Modernism is a rigorous study of the intellectual and artistic endeavors that inform the Nabis' decorative domestic paintings in the 1890s and argues for their centrality to painterly modernism. The book ends up not only re-positioning the Nabis to occupy a crucial place in modernism's development from 1860 to 1914 but also challenges that narrative to place more emphasis on notions of decoration totality and interiority. | The Nabis and Intimate Modernism Painting and the Decorative at the Fin-de-Siècle
