Hardcover. Condition: New (in plastic wrap). Color illustrated boards with yellow and white text. 208 pp. Color illustrations. "Paris in the late nineteenth century witnessed an explosion in cafés, brasseries, and restaurants, as well as a host of musical and performance spaces, that became social gathering spots for a wide range of artists, writers, intellectuals, political activists, performers, and hangers-on. These cafés included Café Guerbois on Avenue de Clichy, frequented by Manet and Degas, the Café des Ambassadeurs on the Champs-Élysées, a favorite haunt of Jean Béraud, and Le Lapin Agile, the informal cabaret in Montmartre closely associated with the struggling modernist artist Pablo Picasso. Presenting more than sixty-five works by a broad cross-section of major names in French, Scandinavian, and expatriate American art, this beautifully illustrated volume looks at the changing role of cafés as gathering places for a new type of urban bourgeois clientele.".…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Plant Fever: The World on the Windowsill uncovers the hidden story of how plants from tropical and subtropical regions found their way into Danish homes in the 19th century. Plant fever took the country by storm, and the green newcomers began appearing in the art of the time first sporadically, then as a recurring motif. But houseplants are more than just decoration. They carry stories of colonial history, class divisions, gender rolesand of our relationship with nature. Today, these green companions continue to brighten up our homes, and in a time of global environmental crisis, it's worth rethinking our connection to them. Drawing on both iconic and lesser-known Danish artworks from the 19th century, this book traces the cultural and artistic journey of houseplantsfrom rare botanical curiosities to cherished symbols of everyday life.…
