Word and Image: Art, Books, and Design From The National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum - Hardcover
This book celebrates Britain’s National Art Library, the first of what was a new kind of museum library, formed in the 19th century by and for artists, designers, and artisans; and intensively used by them and later by the public. Here are more than 100 objects that have helped to define and redefine the subject and scope of the history of the fine and decorative arts, from a 15th-century book of hours to George Cruikshank’s studies of Fagin for Oliver Twist to an Yves Saint Laurent design for the House of Dior and Bill Brandt’s photos, Word and Image explores some of the world’s finest examples of books.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. World & Images se adentra en la historia y la influencia de la National Art Library ubicada en el Victoria and Albert Museum. Fue un elemento esencial del proyecto educativo y museológico del Príncipe Alberto y Enrique Cole tras la Gran Exposición de 1851. La primera de las bibliotecas-museo, formadas en el siglo XIX por y para artistas, diseñadores y artesanos; y de la que se beneficiaron ellos mismos y más tarde todo el público. Desde un libro de horas del siglo XV a los bocetos de William Morris para las Crónicas de Francia y otros lugares de Jean Froissartt, así como los estudios de George Cruiskshank sobre Fangin para Oliver Twist, las caricaturas antifranquistas de Picasso o las fotografías de Bill Brandts, Word & Images reúne más de 150 objetos de entre las colecciones que la NAL guarda: literatura, grabados, dibujos, fotografía o diseño que han contribuido a definir y redefinir el ámbito de la historia del arte, de las bellas artes y las artes decorativas para las generaciones futuras.
