BookPal × TalezoDragons & Pagodas
Dragons & Pagodas is a gorgeously illustrated survey of chinoiserie in art, architecture, and interior design from the 18th century to today.
Chinoiserie is a term for Western art and design inspired by a largely invented vision of China. Marco Polo’s sensational account of his visit to the East in the 13th century sparked a fascination with China that reached a fever pitch in the 18th century and continues to influence decorative arts and interiors today.
Art historian, artist, and interior designer Aldous Bertram, whose academic work has focused on the historical influence of China on English garden design and architecture, has long been captivated by chinoiserie. Dragons & Pagodas is organized by theme, including porcelain, color and pattern, flora, fauna, and architecture. Each chapter is bursting with images ranging from grand European summer palaces and whimsical pagoda follies to charming details of screens, porcelain figurines, and ornate plasterwork.
Complete with Bertram’s own chinoiserie-inspired watercolors and collages, Dragons & Pagodas is both an illuminating history of this enduring decorative style and an irresistible visual celebration of chinoiserie in its own right.
“In this inspiring and informative tome, Aldous Bertram explores the influence of Asia on design elements. . . . If you prefer your pretty pictures with a healthy dose of history and context, this book is for you.” —House Beautiful
