Synopsis
The name of Rene Lalique (1860-1945) is familiar throughout the world and is synonymous with one of the most extraordinary decorative vocabularies of this century. Known primarily as a master craftsman of objects in glass, he was also the designer of exquisite jewelry that attained the highest expression of the Art Nouveau style. This book, published to coincide with a major retrospective of the artist's early work, brings together a dazzling array of jewels, many from private collections shown here for the first time, and presents them in the context of Lalique's contemporary work in glass. Authoritative texts by an International team of scholars examine a broad range of themes and influences on the artist's career from fashion and photography to literature and jeweler's techniques.

Synopsis
The name of Rene Lalique is synonymous with one of the most extraordinary decorative vocabularies of this century. He is known primarily for his masterful work in glass, but he also designed exquisite jewelry that came to epitomize the Art Noveau style and adorned the most exotic women of fin-de-siecle Paris. His wonderful creations were populated by a magnificent world of fantastical beings - dragons, serpents, lilies, swans, orchids and Symbolist women - metamorphosed into dragonflies, lotus blossoms or terrifying Medusas. This book brings together a dazzling array of jewels, many from private collections, and presents them in the context of Lalique's decorative objects and contemporary glasswork. With its superb illustrations of jewelry, drawings, bronzes and glass, an annotated list of works, and extensive chronology, this volume, available in paperback for the first time, has become an important work for all those interested in jewelry and Art Nouveau.
