Tradición y modernidad
Tradición y modernidad: La cerámica en el modernismo recoge las distintas ponencias y comunicaciones presentadas en el IX Congreso de la Asociación de Ceramología, celebrado en Esplugues de Llobregat, ciudad donde estaba emplazado uno de los centros de producción de cerámica más emblemáticos del modernismo, la fábrica Pujol i Bausis..De la mano de arquitectos, diseñadores, artistas, ceramistas y técnicos industriales, el modernismo aunó esfuerzos y sensibilidades para producir unas cerámicas de gran calidad técnica y estética. La presencia de la cerámica aplicada a la arquitectura subrayará la belleza y la técnica de unos elementos que contribuyeron decisivamente a definir la concepción artística de las obras modernistas. Los distintos trabajos presentados en este congreso reafirman esta idea. Dichos estudios están agrupados en cuatro líneas temáticas distintas y mantienen como eje principal el estudio de la cerámica: su aplicación en la arquitectura, las empresas y su producción, el objeto cerámico y finalmente algunos aspectos sobre restauración y conservación cerámica en la arquitectura.

The book is illustrated with an array of pictures, which include not only individual tiles but also patterned and pictorial ti...

5000 Years of Tiles
A comprehensive, full-color exploration of tile art and production worldwide, from earliest times to the present day. The book is both an authoritative work of reference and a visual delight, ranging from ancient Greece, where the first fired roof tiles date from as early as the third millennium BC, to twentieth-century Mexico.
