THE ART OF RENE LALIQUE
by Patricia Bayer & Mark Waller, Eagle Editions, Hertfordshire, UK, 1988/1989.
The authors “examine the artist’s oeuvre and trace his development from goldsmith-jeweler to glassmaker. They also identify the key phases of his work in relation to the evolution of his technique, for example the application of the cire perdue [lost wax] process—normally associated with bronze casting—to glassmaking. Lalique’s extraordinary output, including his scent bottles, vases, bowls, mascots and other statuary, is marvelously documented in more than 350 full-color photographs, many of them previously unpublished." Here is an essential reference work for collectors of French Lalique and admirers of art glass in general. It is also a sumptuously illustrated book to grace the coffee table and provide hours of aesthetic enjoyment for study and browsing.
Oversize / heavy 9.7“ x 13“ hardback book with dust cover in very good condition. 192 pages.
