Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts
Pink castles, talking sofas, and objects coming to life: what may sound like the fantasies of Hollywood dream-maker Walt Disney were in fact the figments of the colorful salons of Rococo Paris. Exploring the novel use of French motifs in Disney films and theme parks, this publication features forty works of eighteenth-century European design—from tapestries and furniture to Boulle clocks and Sèvres porcelain—alongside 150 Disney film stills, drawings, and other works on paper. The text connects these art forms through a shared dedication to craftsmanship and highlights references to European art in Disney films, including nods to Gothic Revival architecture in Cinderella (1950);bejeweled, medieval manuscripts in Sleeping Beauty (1959); and Rococo-inspired furnishings and objects brought to life in Beauty and the Beast (1991). Bridging fact and fantasy, this book draws remarkable new parallels between Disney’s magical creations and their artistic inspirations.

Die Kunst der Galanterie
Galanterie ist ein spannungsvolles Konzept: Es bezeichnet nicht nur sexuelle Libertinage, sondern meint vor allem ein höfisch geprägtes Verhaltensideal, das sich im Frankreich des 17. Jahrhunderts ausbildet. Wesentlich für die galante Conduite ist es, seine Affekte so zu kontrollieren und zu inszenieren, dass man im geselligen Umgang Gefallen erregt und seine Zugehörigkeit zur sozialen Elite sichert. Ein zentrales Medium der spielerisch-unterhaltsamen Vermittlung galanten Verhaltens ist die Literatur. Der Sammelband präsentiert aktuelle Ergebnisse der Galanterie-Foschung, die sich neuerdings als ein viel versprechender Ansatz für die Erforschung der Kultur um 1700 profiliert. In interd...
The Baroque Landscape
"André Le Nôtre (1613-1700) was the greatest landscape architect in France, and his work for Louis XIV laid the groundwork for the baroque style in landscaping. He defined the essence of scientific, rationalist French landscape design - in counterpoint to which the more romantic, naturalistic English tradition later evolved - by basing his work on the state of the art in optics and perspective. The château and gardens at Vaux le Vicomte (approximately 30 miles south of Paris) were begun in 1653. They are the first great landscape designed by André Le Nôtre and mark the beginning of the baroque tradition in gardening. Many of the principles Le Nôtre tried and tested at Vaux were later employed to great acclaim at Versailles, which he designed at the height of his career" -- From book jacket.
