內容簡介 歐式剪裁與拼貼藝術蝶谷巴特圖像大全集「厚重、讓人心滿意足...超大尺寸...靈感的寶藏，藝術家的第一本書，就是讓人覬覦的對象。」－－《華爾街日報》作為藝術家與設計師的John Derian，改變了過去的印刷圖像，將觀者帶到了另一個世界。1989年John Derian成立了一家專做居家用品的公司，以手工方式將圖案拼貼在所有的碗盤、紙鎮與杯墊上。他的設計在高檔的居家用品商店、世界各地的紀念品店或是透過郵購方式，行銷至全世界。Vogue、《紐約時報風格雜誌：T》、《室內裝潢世界》與Vanity Fair都曾經對他的零售商店、工作室與家做過專題報導。為什麼他設計的產品可以在歐美各地大受歡迎？這完全源自於他將蝶谷巴特的技巧提升至精緻藝術的境界，使得他的工藝作品成為目前值得收藏的對象，而這些藝品圖像皆來自珍稀善本。本書是John Derian迷引頸期盼的蝶谷巴特圖像大集合，從他近兩年來所收集的數千圖像中，精選出讓人驚艷的400多幅的美麗圖案。從色彩濃郁的花鳥到令人意想不到的肖像，手寫的字母，以及令人屏息的風景，John Derian收集最精美的圖像都在這本書中，成為歲末感恩之際，最適合犒賞自己、感謝親友的禮物書。John Derian’s home goods empire reaches far and wide—in addition to the four John Derian stores he owns in New York and Massachussetts, his products are sold by more than 600 retailers worldwide, including Neiman Marcus, ABC, and Gumps in the United States; Conrans and Selfridges in the UK; and Astier de Villatte in Paris. It all started with his now-iconic collectible plates decoupaged with 19th-century artwork sourced from old and rare books, a process that credited him with elevating the decoupage technique into fine art. Over the past 25 years, the brand has expanded greatly to include home and general design gifts and products.Now, for the first time ever, comes the book John Derian fans have been waiting for. Culled from the thousands of images that have appeared in his biannual collections, here is an astoundingly beautiful assortment of more than 400 full-bleed images in their original form. From intensely colored flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and breathtaking landscapes, the best of John Derian is here. The result is an oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself, that brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art, and that is destined to become the gift book of the season.
