Created both for everyday living and for special festivities, the extraordinary objects of adornment displayed here served at once as symbols of wealth, marks of rank and magic talismans. Fashioned from a range of precious and non-precious materials, these are pieces of high aesthetic merit. They come dramatically alive in the photographs in this book when shown adorning the body - their qualities designed to enhance both the dignity and the beauty of their wearers. Other close-up photographs demonstrate the incredible detail and workmanship of the objects. This book reveals in resplendent colours the famous collection of ethnic jewellery initiated by Joseph Mueller and expanded by two generations of his heirs. Now housed in the Barbier-Mueller Museum in Geneva, the collection first came to life in the early part of this century, when Mueller found himself captivated by African sculpture, masks, necklaces, bracelets, anklets and other ornaments he saw displayed in the Paris studios of artist friends, among them Picasso. He subsequently travelled all over the world, pursuing his new passion for these living jewels. This book reproduces the finest pieces of jewellery in the collection. Michel Butor is a poet, philosopher and critic as well as an acclaimed novelist. He is a member of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Geneva.

Gregory Masurovsky attended Black Mountain College as an impressionable teenager. Thus began his lifelong commitment to progressive graphic art. He and his late wife, the abstract painter Shirley Goldfarb, decided on their first visit to Paris to remain permanently. They encountered intellectual and artistic luminaries like de Beauvoir, Giacometti, and Sartre, and rising art stars like David Hockney, who painted a significant double portrait of them. The closest of their artistic and intellectual associations was with Michel Butor, a legendary French critic and philosopher. This BMC monograph features a rare gathering of important new texts, reflecting the collaboration that has always characterized Butor's work with Masurovsky.
