Dragons and Pagodas
is a gorgeously illustrated survey of chinoiserie 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 exotic East in the 13th century sparked a fascination with China that reached a fever pitch in the 18th century and continues to this day.
Art historian and artist Aldous Bertram 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,
is an irresistible confection and an example 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.” —
