Book ID: 83829

Published on the occasion of an exhibition organized by the Fondation Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent brings together the most significant works of Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) and artists who worked with him. This book discusses the links between the decorator and the intellectual elite of the inter-war years, Louis Aragon, Rene Crevel, Drieu La Rochelle, Francois Mauriac, or Noailles. Retracing the journey of this mythical figure of decorative arts, he confronts his style called "luxury poor" in the emerging modern movement, and reveals the surreal dimension under its collaborations with Salvador Dal’, Emilio Terry, Christian Berard and especially Alberto Giacometti .
