“Weighing a hefty eleven pounds, this surpassingly rich visual and intellectual feast is the luxury book bargain of the season. . . . Pérouse de Montclos’s method of examining landmarks individually and in depth opens our eyes to treasures that even habitués of Paris may have missed.” ―Martin Filler, The New York Times Book Review Now expanded, this towering volume is more comprehensive―and compelling―than ever. Illustrated with more than 850 full-color images, maps, plans, and chronologies, Paris: City of Art is an unparalleled celebration of the city’s artistic vision and energy. From antiquity to the present day, Paris: City of Art is a guide through centuries of artistic achievement: soaring Gothic cathedrals, the sumptuous and extravagant Louvre, luminous Impressionist masterpieces, and the birth of Modernism. Featuring notable additions to the city’s skyline, such as Jean Nouvel’s Quai Branly Museum, as well as designs for major works in progress, such as Frank Gehry’s Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, this expanded edition is the quintessential authority on the aesthetic past, present, and future of this incredible city.

Fleuron de la collection, Architecture, méthode et vocabulaire de Jean-Marie Pérouse de Montclos fait autorité en la matière, depuis sa première édition en 1972. Unique au monde, il fait aujourd’hui l’objet d’une nouvelle édition avec un texte revu et enrichi par l’auteur. Une iconographie généreusement augmentée et ouverte à la couleur permet d’établir une relation étroite entre le texte et l’image, tandis que l’appareil de notes précise les références historiques et bibliographiques.Plus de 1 200 illustrations figurent les quelque 1 200 termes d’architecture définis dans les 3 grands chapitres de l’ouvrage : le premier étant dédié au vocabulaire général (de la représentation à la construction), le suivant décomposant les différentes parties d’un édifice (de ses fondations au décor en passant par les baies, les couvertures, les escaliers, etc.) et le dernier s’attachant aux spécificités des édifices suivant leur typologie (religieux, public, militaire, etc.).

REGARD

In this opulently illustrated volume, the eminent French architectural historian Jean-Marie P+¬rouse de Montclos traces the transformation of Louis XIII's modest hunting lodge into the fabulous ch+óteau we know today as the extravagant height of the French monarchy. Robert Polidori's sublime photographs show Versailles' architecture, interiors, and gardens, from sweeping aerial views, to grandiose views of the elaborately decorated palace ceilings, to intimate photographs of the paintings and sculptures that grace the walls and gardens. The exquisite artistry of each carefully considered decorative detail reveals Versailles in all its magnificence. The photographs show all the beauty and ornate decoration of Versailles, in every season and from every possible perspective. Polidori presents quiet, warmly-lit landscapes of the gardens and pools, dramatic visions of the colonnades, and expansive views of the vast, airy, luxurious salons. The text is a scholarly study of the history of the evolving aesthetic of this remarkable palace, attesting not only to its importance as the ultimate expression of European absolutism but also to its significance as an experimental design workshop that was to become widely influential.
