Soft cover. Condition: New. Yeshwant Rao Holkar II (1908 1961), the last maharaja of Indore, was arguably the most enigmatic and sophisticated amongst his peers. His reign (1926 1948) is often referred to as the Golden Age of Indore. While the Holkars were always known for their patronage especially towards arts and textiles, it… was Yeshwant Rao who put Indore on the international style circuit with his chic and modernist personal style, and an eye for recognizing and befriending the greatest avant-garde talent of his time. This led him to commission some of the most important Art Deco furniture pieces, palaces, jewellery, and art of his era, from the likes of Man Ray, Eckart Muthesius, and Constantin Brancusi who he considered friends. At the age of 22, Holkar commissioned the German architect Eckhart Muthesius to design an Art Deco and Bauhaus fantasy for him Manik Bagh, a monument dedicated to Western modernity housed a variety of furniture and artworks, with many pieces still appearing in major auctions today. Yeshwant Rao, along with his glamorous wife Sanyogita Devi, crafted a legacy of quiet elegance and unparalleled patronage of culture and the arts. Behind the sophistication, however, there lay another, more mysterious, and at times tragic side of a man torn between the two irreconcilable worlds he straddled India and the West. Stripped of power and forced to adapt to a new socio-political reality after India s independence, his life encapsulates the struggles faced by many royal figures of the time, while also marred with personal tragedies, betrayal, and ill health. This first major biography of Holkar reads like a journey into the heart of the roaring 1920s and a passage through India on the path to independence, revealing the profound complexities of a life marked by both brilliance and sorrow.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Nacido en una aldea perdida a orillas del Yangtsé, C. T. Loo (1880-1957) se convirtió, gracias a su extraordinario talento y a su olfato natural para los negocios, en el marchante de arte asiático más importante de su tiempo. En un momento en el que Occidente sólo conocía las chinoiserie…s, aquellos bibelots de estética más bien extravagante y decadente, Loo supo crear un nuevo gusto, descubriendo a los adinerados coleccionistas y curadores de museos de Europa y Estados Unidos los tesoros del verdadero arte chino, desde las grandes estatuas, hasta las miniaturas de jade, pasando por los frescos budistas y los bronces arcaicos. No obstante, tras la respetable y genial figura del gran marchante, se esconde otra más controvertida. Si bien en Occidente recogió honores por su contribución a enriquecer las más importantes colecciones de arte chino públicas y privadas, en China a este hombre discreto y sin duda manipulador se le acusa de haber saqueado los tesoros artísticos de su país natal. Tras el estallido de la revolución de 1949, logró escapar ilagrosamente a las represalias del Gobierno comunista, mientras que todos sus socios tuvieron un final trágico. La trayectoria novelesca de este marchante fuera de lo común constituye un fresco sobrecogedor del mundo del arte en la primera mitad del siglo xx, de sus grandes figuras y de sus usos y costumbres entre París, Londres, Shanghái y Nueva York, así como un testimonio de primera mano del encuentro entre la China tradicional Occidente. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
