‎Pillement‎

‎Gordon-Smith, Maria; with intro. by Alastair Laing: Pillement. Cracow: IRSA, 2006. 416pp, with 392 colour and monochrome illustrations. Boards. 31.2x23.8cms. First modern monograph to give extended assessment of the full range and quality of the works of the 18th-century French artist Jean Pillement (1728-1808), much of whose career was spent travelling around the European courts working for the Ancien Régime. Hugely in demand in his lifetime, and widely influential from the many prints issued of his works that exemplify the Rococo and Chinoiserie fantasies so popular during the period. Collected from London to Lisbon and from Paris to St. Petersburg, many of his designs were reproduced on tapestries, silks and fabrics and domestic objects such as ceramics, silver and enamel were decorated using his works.‎
