[Bal des Quat'z'Arts]. Collection de quinze plaques en bronze à patine brune réalisées par des artistes divers, certaines avec le cachet d'Henri Rouard, fondeur à Paris, signées Honoré Sausse (1891-1936), Gogois, P. Lefebvre, Georges Muguet (1903-1988), etc.
, , 1924-1936. 15 plaques en fonte de bronze mesurant 13 à 31 cm x 5 à 20 cm.
Fondé en 1892, le Bal des Quat'z'Arts avait lieu vers la fin de chaque année scolaire (juin ou juillet) et devait reconstituer un thème choisi (prise de Grenade, Grèce antique, etc.) avec une parade d'artistes costumés.La fête annuelle était devenue une espèce de carnaval très débridé comprenant chars, musiciens, modèles nues, etc. ; il fut le prototype de la Vachalcade de Willette et la parade anti-académique des artistes. Il prit fin au milieu des années 1960 ; sa disparition fut immortalisée par la chanson de Georges Brassens Les Quat'Z'Arts.À l'occasion de chaque bal étaient réalisées des médailles en bronze que porteraient au cou les organisateurs ou délégués. Un mois environ avant la tenue du bal, il était procédé à la fabrication de plaques pour le Comité et pour les Délégués d’Ateliers. Il s’agit de plaques de bronze portées en collier par chacun des intéressés permettant ainsi de les distinguer parmi tous les participants du Bal. Ces plaques, choisies également après concours, étaient tirées en une quinzaine d'exemplaires pour le Comité et environ vingt à vingt-cinq exemplaires pour les Délégués.Plaques de Comitard :1925 : L'entrée de Cyrus dans Balylone. Plaque signée Paul Lefebvre (149 x 231 mm).1926 : La fête du Soleil chez les Incas. Plaque signée Marcel Gogois (175 x 240 mm).1928 : Les Huns/Le camp d'Attila, le partage du butin.

Inheritance, Social Networks, Adaptation. Bronze and Early Iron Age Societies North of the Western Carpathians
, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, 820 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:124 b/w, 277 col., 46 tables b/w., 2 tables col., Language: English. *new ISBN 9782503616773.
Summary How did societies change between the Early Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age? And what was the impetus that led to these changes - social contacts and innovation, intergenerational contacts, or perhaps simply adaptation? Taking these questions as its starting point, this richly detailed volume explores four different regions of southern Poland to compare and contrast the mechanisms that drove socio-cultural change in the region between the second and the first half of the first millennium BC. Drawing on standardized sets of archaeological data, the chapters gathered here examine the interplay of different factors influencing cultural change across five key parameters: environment; settlement patterns; settlement organization; economy; and material culture. The result is a beautifully illustrated volume that offers important insights into Central and Eastern European prehistory, made accessible for an English-speaking audience.

Contrasts of the Nordic Bronze Age. Essays in Honour of Christopher Prescott
, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 284 pages, Size:215 x 280 mm, Illustrations:61 b/w, 30 col., 16 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503588773.
Summary The Bronze Age in Northern Europe was a place of diversity and contrast, an era that saw movements and changes not just of peoples, but of cultures, beliefs, and socio-political systems, and that led to the forging of ontological ideas materialized in landscapes, bodies, and technologies. Drawing on a range of materials and places, the innovative contributions gathered here in this volume explore the disparate facets of Bronze Age society across the Nordic region through the key themes of time and trajectory, rituals and everyday life, and encounters and identities. The contributions explore how and why society evolved over time, from the changing nature of sea travel to new technologies in house building, and from advances in lithic production to evolving burial practices and beliefs in the afterlife. This edited collection honours the ground-breaking research of Professor Christopher Prescott, an outstanding figure in the study of the Bronze Age north, and it takes as its inspiration the diversity, interdisciplinarity, and vitality of his own research in order to make a major new contribution to the field, and to shed new light on a Bronze Age full of contrasts and connections.
