Book Description
The New Chinoiserie Coloring Book is a love letter to wallpapers, textiles, and ceramic art of the 18th century. Highly detailed illustrations are drawn with extra fine lines to help you produce finished art that is ready to frame. You'll find this collection of thirty stylized motifs presented in two ways: conventional black-outline coloring pages, and a new style of light-outline coloring pages. This new style gives colorists room to develop their own level of detail as the printed line recedes into the background. Whichever style of print you prefer, the additional copy of each design can be used to reduce bleed-through or for experimenting with techniques. While some people might consider this collection appropriate for advanced colorers-the fine lines are easily drawn over-and will still look great with a looser, more abstract approach to coloring. Included in your purchase is a link to download five of the illustrations as free printable greeting cards. ______________ K.P. Singh is an illustrator and fine artist. Her contemporary homage to chinoiserie is expressed through her bespoke hand-painted wallpapers and textile designs. She incorporates flora and fauna from her home in Southern California into this lovingly crafted, new chinoiserie collection. This is her first coloring book. ______________ Subjects include: birds, trees, lemons, chrysanthemums, peonies, tulips, tulipieres, vases, urns and ginger jars, tea cups, tropical foliage, butterflies and moths, tigers, snakes, a little porcelain doggy, portrait and landscape style compositions, repeating patterns, and symmetrical patterns. Take advantage of the unique, hand-drawn art and extra copies of each image by applying the designs to your embroidery, cross stitch, or watercolor projects. To do so, apply graphite or transfer paper to the back of the image and use a pen or stylus to press the design through. For tips on how to transfer these designs to watercolor paper and tutorials on painting techniques, check out the link provided in the book.

Book Description
Chinoiserie, a decorative style inspired by the art of the Far East, gripped Britain from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. Despite taking its name from the French word for 'Chinese', the style also incorporated influences from other Asian countries, helping to shape the period's popular fantasy of the 'exotic Orient'. Wealthy consumers jostled to obtain imported wallpaper, lacquered cabinets and hand-painted porcelain, while domestic manufacturers such as Royal Worcester and Chippendale met demand with mass-produced items of their own. Though interest in the style waned as the Gothic Revival took hold, many examples of Chinoiserie have been preserved. In this beautifully illustrated book, Richard Hayman tells the story of this fascinating phenomenon, and explores the profound impact of Chinoiserie on the material culture of the West.

Book Description
The Mongol invasion in the thirteenth century marked a new phase in the development of Islamic art. Trans-Eurasian exchanges of goods, people and ideas were encouraged on a large scale under the auspices of the Pax Mongolica. With the fascination of portable objects brought from China and Central Asia, a distinctive, hitherto unknown style - Islamic chinoiserie - was born in the art of Iran.Highly illustrated, Islamic Chinoiserie offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic interaction between Iran and China under the Mongols. By using rich visual materials from various media of decorative and pictorial arts - textiles, ceramics, metalwork and manuscript painting - the book illustrates the process of adoption and adaptation of Chinese themes in the art of Mongol-ruled Iran in a visually compelling way. The observation of this unique artistic phenomenon serves to promote the understanding of the artistic diversity of Islamic art in the Middle Ages.Key Features*Covers various media of decorative and pictorial arts from Iran, Central Asia and China*Deals with a diverse range of issues related to the East-West artistic relationship in the Middle Ages*Features in-depth studies of style, technique and iconography in Iranian art under the Mongols*Includes 125 illustrations, 24 in colour

Book Description
The purpose of this essay collection is to recover color's complex and sometimes morally troubling past. By emphasising color's materiality, and how it was produced, exchanged and used, contributors draw attention to the disjuncture between the beauty of color and the blood, sweat, and tears that went into its production, circulation and application as well as to the complicated and varied social meanings attached to color within specific historical and social contexts.

Book Description
Chinoiserie - Art in the Oriental style In Europe back in the 17th and 18th centuries, an overwhelming fascination with China-and in particular, Chinese porcelain developed among tastemakers, which fueled an immense demand for East Asian goods, particularly within the realm of the decorative arts. European manufacturers took advantage of this craze by beginning to produce designs in imitation of the Chinese hence the creation of Chinoiserie. Goods ranged from furniture to textiles to fine art and featured Chinese materials (or imitations of them) such as porcelain and lacquer, plus Chinese motifs like pagodas, dragons, and flora as imagined through the highly fantastical Western lens. Chinoiserie is an entirely European invention. Chinoiserie is interesting, with little scenes telling a story, it has movement and depth, it can be colorful and really engage your eye.

Book Description
Architectural Space in Eighteenth-Century Europe: Constructing Identities and Interiors explores how a diverse, pan-European group of eighteenth-century patrons - among them bankers, bishops, bluestockings, and courtesans - used architectural space and décor to shape and express identity. Eighteenth-century European architects understood the client's instrumental role in giving form and meaning to architectural space. In a treatise published in 1745, the French architect Germain Boffrand determined that a visitor could "judge the character of the master for whom the house was built by the way in which it is planned, decorated and distributed." This interdisciplinary volume addresses two key interests of contemporary historians working in a range of disciplines: one, the broad question of identity formation, most notably as it relates to ideas of gender, class, and ethnicity; and two, the role played by different spatial environments in the production - not merely the reflection - of identity at defining historical and cultural moments. By combining contemporary critical analysis with a historically specific approach, the book's contributors situate ideas of space and the self within the visual and material remains of interiors in eighteenth-century Europe. In doing so, they offer compelling new insight not only into this historical period, but also into our own.
