For more than 10,000 years, people have been shaping clay into brick for use in creating permanent shelter.

Artists now collaborate with brick factories to... For more than 10,000 years, people have been shaping clay into brick for use in creating permanent shelter.

A Royal Menagerie: Meissen Porcelain Animals
ISBN: 9780892366446 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Heroic" is perhaps the only word to describe the Meissen porcelain animals made for the Elector of Saxony, Frederick-Augustus. They were commissioned in 1728 and modeled and executed by 1735. The great size of the figures presented many technical difficulties in creation and firing. Their mere completion in so many cases was itself a tour de force, making it arguably the most significant commission for porcelain executed in Europe.
Presented here are the large figures of animals from the collection of Frederick-Augustus, currently on exhibition at the Getty Museum until January 2002....

ISBN: 9781901992557 / Angielski / Miękka / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
